Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Attempt to cleanup the HSW offcore bits

So Don asked about offcore and because I forgot I looked at the code and found
the terrible mess Andi created with the HSW/BDW bits.

This series attempts to clean some of that up but seeing how it was all magic
numbers and no reasons provided for the differences with existing uarchs this
might just break things horribly.

That said, if this does break things, fixes will have to explain things, so
that's good.
