ACPI: register ACPI Processor as generic thermal cooling device
Register ACPI processor as thermal cooling devices.
A combination of processor T-state and P-state are used for thermal throttling.
the processor will reduce the frequency first and then set the T-state.
we use cpufreq_thermal_reduction_pctg to calculate the cpufreq limit,
and call cpufreq_verify_with_limit to set the cpufreq limit.
if cpufreq driver is loaded, then we have four cooling state for cpufreq control.
cooling state 0: cpufreq limit == max_freq
cooling state 1: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 80%
cooling state 2: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 60%
cooling state 3: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 40%
after the cpufreq limit is set to 40 percentage of the max_freq,
we use T-state for cooling.
eg. a processor has P-state support, and it has 8 T-state (T0-T7),
the max_state of the proceesor is 10:
state cpufreq-limit T-state
0: max_freq T0
1: max_freq * 80% T0
2: max_freq * 60% T0
3: max_freq * 40% T0
4: max_freq * 40% T1
5: max_freq * 40% T2
6: max_freq * 40% T3
7: max_freq * 40% T4
8: max_freq * 40% T5
9: max_freq * 40% T6
10: max_freq * 40% T7
