Powerclamp works by aligning idle time to achieve package level
idle states, aka cstates. As long as one of the package cstates
is available, synchronized idle injection is meaningful.

This patch replaces the CPU whitelist with CPU feature and
package cstate counter check such that we don't have to modify
this whitelist for every new CPU.

It looks to me like there are some follow-up commits needed, one to fix
a bug in this patch (loading powerclamp on cpus which don't support it)
and another to fix a bug introduced by the previous fix.

3105f234e0ab thermal/powerclamp: correct cpu support check
ec638db8cb9d thermal/powerclamp: add back module device table

Thanks,
Seth

You are right, I'll resend patches after test these commits on a real
machine.
