Durgadoss R c814a4c7c4 hwmon: (coretemp) Add core/pkg threshold support to Coretemp
This patch adds the core and pkg support to coretemp.
These thresholds can be configured via the sysfs interfaces tempX_max
and tempX_max_hyst. An interrupt is generated when CPU temperature reaches
or crosses above tempX_max OR drops below tempX_max_hyst.

This patch is based on the documentation in IA Manual vol 3A, that can be
downloaded from here:

Description
-----------
This driver permits reading the DTS (Digital Temperature Sensor) embedded
inside Intel CPUs. This driver can read both the per-core and per-package
temperature using the appropriate sensors. The per-package sensor is new;
as of now, it is present only in the SandyBridge platform. The driver will
show the temperature of all cores inside a package under a single device
directory inside hwmon.
Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius and measurement resolution is
1 degree C. Valid temperatures are from 0 to TjMax degrees C, because
the actual value of temperature register is in fact a delta from TjMax.
Temperature known as TjMax is the maximum junction temperature of processor,
which depends on the CPU model. See table below. At this temperature, protection
mechanism will perform actions to forcibly cool down the processor. Alarm
may be raised, if the temperature grows enough (more than TjMax) to trigger
the Out-Of-Spec bit. Following table summarizes the exported sysfs files:
All Sysfs entries are named with their core_id (represented here by 'X').
tempX_input - Core temperature (in millidegrees Celsius).
tempX_max - All cooling devices should be turned on (on Core2).
Initialized with IA32_THERM_INTERRUPT. When the CPU
temperature reaches this temperature, an interrupt is
generated and tempX_max_alarm is set.
tempX_max_hyst - If the CPU temperature falls below than temperature,
an interrupt is generated and tempX_max_alarm is reset.
tempX_max_alarm - Set if the temperature reaches or exceeds tempX_max.
Reset if the temperature drops to or below tempX_max_hyst.
tempX_crit - Maximum junction temperature (in millidegrees Celsius).
tempX_crit_alarm - Set when Out-of-spec bit is set, never clears.
Correct CPU operation is no longer guaranteed.
tempX_label - Contains string "Core X", where X is processor
number. For Package temp, this will be "Physical id Y",
where Y is the package number.
The TjMax temperature is set to 85 degrees C if undocumented model specific
register (UMSR) 0xee has bit 30 set. If not the TjMax is 100 degrees C as
(sometimes) documented in processor datasheet.
