d29d67357d ACPI / CPPC: Use h/w reduced version of the PCCT structure
CPPC is enabled only on platforms which support the h/w reduced
ACPI specification, so use the h/w reduced version of the PCCT
consistently when deferencing PCCT contents.

337aadff8e ACPI: Introduce CPU performance controls using CPPC
CPPC stands for Collaborative Processor Performance Controls
and is defined in the ACPI v5.0+ spec. It describes CPU
performance controls on an abstract and continuous scale
allowing the platform (e.g. remote power processor) to flexibly
optimize CPU performance with its knowledge of power budgets
and other architecture specific knowledge.

This patch adds a shim which exports commonly used functions
to get and set CPPC specific controls for each CPU. This enables
CPUFreq drivers to gather per CPU performance data and use
with exisiting governors or even allows for customized governors
which are implemented inside CPUFreq drivers.
