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.
