Can we disable `preferred core` in HW? If not then when we disable
`preferred core` in software (via the cmd line param you have created),
HW still gives core ranking through highest perf register/MSR. So, we
have to filter the core ranking info form the highest perf register/MSR
and set cpudata->highest_perf accordingly. IMO we should have two
variables, one which indicated HW support and other one which indicates SW
overwrite. In this function we should be checking only HW support.

Here also we should be checking only HW support.

255 is a valid core ranking right?
