Subject: r8168 is needed to enter P-state: Package State 6 (pc6) on Haswell
 hardware

With in-kernel r8169 module, only P-state package C3 (pc3) can be 
reached when enabling ASPM.

Only after installing r8168 driver (and enabling ASPM), a Haswell 
Celeron G1820/G1840 processer will enter package C6 state (pc6).

Tested with Ubuntu kernel 3.13 x86_64
and Ubuntu mainline
Linux ubuntu14 3.17.0-999-generic #201409240305 SMP Wed Sep 24 02:07:04 
UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I hope this gets fixed: Haswell processor entering pc6 with ASPM enabled 
and r8169 in-kernel module.
