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 device attribute for hardware preferred core. It will check
if the processor and power firmware support preferred core
feature.

Add device attribute for preferred core. Only when hardware
supports preferred core and user set `enabled` in early parameter,
it can be set to enabled.

Add one new early parameter `disable` to allow user to disable
the preferred core.

The problem that I commented in below version is still there. The
amd_pstate_init_prefcore() will be called in amd_pstate_cpu_init() which
will be initialized on each cpu. So the hw_perfcore/prefcore will be
overwrited at last cpu initialization.
