Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 046/170] intel_pstate: Correct BYT VID values.

3.16.7-ckt1 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.j.brandewie@...el.com>

commit d022a65ed2473fac4a600e3424503dc571160a3e upstream.

Using a VID value that is not high enough for the requested P state can
cause machine checks. Add a ceiling function to ensure calulated VIDs
with fractional values are set to the next highest integer VID value.

The algorythm for calculating the non-trubo VID from the BIOS writers
guide is:
 vid_ratio = (vid_max - vid_min) / (max_pstate - min_pstate)
 vid = ceiling(vid_min + (req_pstate - min_pstate) * vid_ratio)
