CPUs with configurable TDP will run the TSC at the max non-turbo
ratio for the maximum TDP value, which can cause issues if another
TDP is desired. To deal with this we set the flex ratio to the
nominal TDP ratio early in the boot and then configure the Soft
Reset Data registers so the PCH can tell the CPU what frequency
to run at after a reset.
This is done very early in the bootblock because it is necessary
to reset the system after setting a flex ratio.
The end result is that the TSC will now increment at the max
non-turbo frequency for the nominal TDP.
On some system with 1.8GHz CPU ensure that the kernel
detects the CPU speed as ~1800mhz rather than ~2300mhz:
> dmesg | grep "MHz processor"
[ 0.004000] Detected 1795.801 MHz processor.

When CONFIG_MICROCODE_IN_CBFS is enabled, find the microcode blob in
CBFS and pass it to intel_update_microcode() instead of using the
compiled in array.
CBFS accesses in pre-RAM and 'normal' environments are provided
through different API.

In preparation to support CBFS hosted microcode blobs, this change
renames the wrapper include file containing the microcode to be
independent of CPU model.

- add GPLv2 + copyright header after talking to Ron
- "bits" in struct microcode served no real purpose but
getting its address taken. Hence drop it
- use asm volatile instead of __asm__ volatile
- drop superfluous wrmsr (that seems to be harmless but
is still wrong) in read_microcode_rev
- use u32 instead of unsigned int where appropriate
- make code usable both in bootblock and in ramstage
- drop ROMCC style print_debug statements
- drop microcode update copy in Sandybridge bootblock
