amd-pstate driver utilizes the functions and data structures
provided by the ITMT architecture to enable the scheduler to
favor scheduling on cores which can be get a higher frequency
with lower voltage. We call it amd-pstate preferrred core.
Here sched_set_itmt_core_prio() is called to set priorities and
sched_set_itmt_support() is called to enable ITMT feature.
amd-pstate driver uses the highest performance value to indicate
the priority of CPU. The higher value has a higher priority.
The initial core rankings are set up by amd-pstate when the
system boots.
Add a variable hw_prefcore in cpudata structure. It will check
if the processor and power firmware support preferred core
feature.
Add one new early parameter `disable` to allow user to disable
the preferred core.
Only when hardware supports preferred core and user set `enabled`
in early parameter, amd pstate driver supports preferred core featue.
