Subject: [PATCH RFC] intel_pstate: play well with frequency limits set by
 acpi

IPMI can control CPU P-states remotely: configuration is reported via
common ACPI interface (_PPC/_PSS/etc). This patch adds required minimal
support in intel_pstate to receive and use these P-state limits.

* ignore limit of top state in _PPC: it lower than turbo boost frequency
* register intel_pstate in acpi-processor to get states from _PSS
* link acpi_processor_get_bios_limit: this adds attribute "bios_limit"
