    cpufreq/amd-pstate: Add support for the "Requested CPU Min frequency" BIOS option

    Initialize lower frequency limit to the "Requested CPU Min frequency"
    BIOS option (if it is set) value as part of the driver->init()
    callback. The BIOS specified value is passed by the PMFW as min_perf in
    CPPC_REQ MSR. To ensure that we don't mistake a stale min_perf value in
    CPPC_REQ value as the "Requested CPU Min frequency" during a kexec wakeup,
    reset the CPPC_REQ.min_perf value back to the BIOS specified one in the
    offline, exit and suspend callbacks.

    amd_pstate_target() and amd_pstate_epp_update_limit() which are invoked
    as part of the resume() and online() callbacks will take care of restoring
    the CPPC_REQ back to the correct values.
