Skylake: Support Intel Speed Shift Technology based on config
Intel Speed Shift Technology is a new mechanism that replaces
Legacy P-state. ISST allows OS hints about energy/performance
preference. H/W performs the actual P-state control (autonomous)
1. Optimization frequency seclection for low residency workloads,
no longer a static knee point.
2. Optimized frequency selection for best energy to performance
trade offs.
3. Kick down frequency (from idle) fpr best responsiveness while
taking energy consumption init account.
Coreboot's responsiblity is to configure MSR 0x1AA ISST_EN bits
which will reflect in CPUID.06h:EAX[Bit 7] that driver checkes
and enable HWP accordingly.
BUG=chrome-os-partner:47517
BRANCH=None
TEST=Booted kunimitsu and verify HWP getting enabled/disabled
using Intel P-state driver.
