haswell: Put each logical processor in its own P-state domain
The recommendation from Intel is to report each core as a
separate logical domain in the _PSD table.
This goes against the recommendation in the ACPI specification
because all of these cores are on the same package and share a
VR so they will do voltage transitions together.
The reasoning is that with a larger number of logical processors
the P-state often ramps too quickly resulting in higher power
consumption. By exposing each core as a separate domain the OS
can manage them individually allowing the socket to select the
optimum frequency.
