Since we would like to modify the min_perf on share memory processors as
well. The current cppc_set_perf() in cppc_acpi doesn't provide the MIN/MAX
values. Could you please add the max_perf/min_perf in cppc_acpi.c as well?
Then the APIs will be available on the share memory processors like Rome.

Thanks,
Ray
