Not for upstreaming.
The IO space specified in the PCCT of the thinkpad
doesn't seem to have anything behind it. So this patch
creates a fake buffer shared between CPPC and PCC.

Also, the write to DESIRED reg to indicate desired CPU
performance level is an MSR on the Thinkpad (PERF_CTL).
This is not specified by the CPC table on this laptop. So
skip the cpc_write64() and directly write to the MSR. This
avoids the deadlock situtaion where IRQs are disabled in the
following path:

mbox_send_message -> send_data -> pcc_send_data
