CPU: Set flex ratio to nominal TDP ratio in bootblock
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.
