Earlier, Ingo Molnar posted a patch to make it so that the kernel would avoid
reading _PPC on his broken T60.  Unfortunately, it seems that with Thomas
Renninger's patch last July to eliminate _PPC evaluations when the processor
driver loads, the kernel never actually reads _PPC at all!  This is problematic
if you happen to boot your non-T60 computer in a state where the BIOS _wants_
_PPC to be something other than zero.

So, put the _PPC evaluation back into acpi_processor_get_performance_info if
ignore_ppc isn't 1.

This interface is mainly intended (and implemented) for ACPI _PPC BIOS
frequency limitations, but other cpufreq drivers can also use it for
similar use-cases.

Why is this needed:

Currently it's not obvious why cpufreq got limited.
People see cpufreq/scaling_max_freq reduced, but this could have
happened by:
  - any userspace prog writing to scaling_max_freq
  - thermal limitations
  - hardware (_PPC in ACPI case) limitiations

Therefore export bios_limit (in kHz) to:
  - Point the user that it's the BIOS (broken or intended) which limits
    frequency
  - Export it as a sysfs interface for userspace progs.
    While this was a rarely used feature on laptops, there will appear
    more and more server implemenations providing "Green IT" features like
    allowing the service processor to limit the frequency. People want
    to know about HW/BIOS frequency limitations.

All ACPI P-state driven cpufreq drivers are covered with this patch:
  - powernow-k8
  - powernow-k7
  - acpi-cpufreq

Tested with a patched DSDT which limits the first two cores (_PPC returns 1)
via _PPC, exposed by bios_limit:
# echo 2200000 >cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
# cat cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
2600000
2600000
2200000
2200000
# #scaling_max_freq shows general user/thermal/BIOS limitations

# cat cpu*/cpufreq/bios_limit
2600000
2600000
2800000
2800000
# #bios_limit only shows the HW/BIOS limitation

According to the ACPI spec(section 8.4.4.3) OSPM should convey the _PPC
evaluations status to the platform if there exists the _OST object.
The _OST contains two arguments:
	The first is the PERFORMANCE notificatin event.
	The second is the status of _PPC object.
OSPM will convey the _PPC evaluation status to the platform.
Of course when the module parameter of "ignore_ppc" is added, OSPM won't
evaluate the _PPC object. But it will call the _OST object.

At the same time the _OST object will be evaluated only when the PERFORMANCE
notification event is received.

When BIOS SETUP is changed to disable EIST, some BIOS
hand the OS an un-initialized _PSS:

        Name (_PSS, Package (0x06)
        {
            Package (0x06)
            {
                0x80000000,	// frequency [MHz]
                0x80000000,	// power [mW]
                0x80000000,	// latency [us]
                0x80000000,	// BM latency [us]

                0x80000000	// status
            },
	    ...

These are outrageous values for frequency,
power and latency, raising the question where to draw
the line between legal and illegal.  We tend to survive
garbage in the power and latency fields, but we can BUG_ON
when garbage is in the frequency field.

Cpufreq multiplies the frequency by 1000 and stores it in a u32 KHz.
So disregard a _PSS with a frequency so large
that it can't be represented by cpufreq.

Recently cpufreq support on my laptop (Lenovo T60) broke completely: when
it's plugged into AC it would never go higher than 1 GHz - neither 1.3 GHz
nor 1.83 GHz is possible - no matter which governor (userspace, speed or
ondemand) is used.

After some cpufreq debugging i tracked the regression back to the following
(totally correct) bug-fix commit:

   commit 0916bd3e
   Author: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>
   Date:   Wed Nov 22 20:42:01 2006 -0500

    [PATCH] Correct bound checking from the value returned from _PPC method.

This bugfix, which makes other laptops work, made a previously hidden
(BIOS) bug visible on my laptop.

The bug is the following: if the _PPC (Performance Present Capabilities)
optional ACPI object is queried /after/ bootup then the BIOS reports an
incorrect value of '2'.

My laptop (Lenovo T60) has the following performance states supported:

   0: 1833000
   1: 1333000
   2: 1000000

Per ACPI specification, a _PPC value of '0' means that all 3 performance
states are usable.  A _PPC value of '1' means states 1 ..  2 are usable, a
value of '2' means only state '2' (slowest) is usable.

now, the _PPC object is optional, and it also comes with notification.
Furthermore, when a CPU object is initialized, the _PPC object is
initialized as well.  So the following evaluation of the _PPC object is
superfluous:

 [<c028ba5f>] acpi_processor_get_platform_limit+0xa1/0xaf
 [<c028c040>] acpi_processor_register_performance+0x3b9/0x3ef
 [<c0111a85>] acpi_cpufreq_cpu_init+0xb7/0x596
 [<c03dab74>] cpufreq_add_dev+0x160/0x4a8
 [<c02bed90>] sysdev_driver_register+0x5a/0xa0
 [<c03d9c4c>] cpufreq_register_driver+0xb4/0x176
 [<c068ac08>] acpi_cpufreq_init+0xe5/0xeb
 [<c010056e>] init+0x14f/0x3dd

And this is the point where my laptop's BIOS returns the incorrect value of
'2'.  Note that it has not sent any notification event, so the value is
probably not really intentional (possibly spurious), and Windows likely
doesnt query it after bootup either.  Maybe the value is kept at '2'
normally, and is only set to the real value when a true asynchronous event
(such as AC plug event, battery switch, etc.) occurs.

So i /think/ this is a grey area of the ACPI spec: per the letter of the
spec the _PPC value only changes when notified, so there's no reason to
query it after the system has booted up.  So in my opinion the best (and
most compatible) strategy would be to do the change below, and to not
evaluate the _PPC object in the acpi_processor_get_performance_info() call,
but only evaluate it if _PPC is present during CPU object init, or if it's
notified during an asynchronous event.  This change is more permissive than
the previous logic, so it definitely shouldnt break any existing system.

This also happens to fix my laptop, which is merrily chugging along at
1.83 GHz now. Yay!
