Yuck, why is this in a mrst specific header ?

 apbt sucks performance wise, so why do you consider it a better
 choice than lapic + broadcast ?

  The logic is confusing.

 This is not Penwell specific at all. The ratio can be read out on all
 Core based CPUs either from MSR_PLATFORM_ID[12:8] or
 MSR_PERF_STAT[44:40] depending on XE operation enabled
 (MSR_PERF_STAT[31] == 1)

 This should be made general available and not burried into the mrst
 code.

 I guess the 111 is Penwell/MRST specific, right ?

 According to SDM we have anyway different results for the various CPU
 families, but we should utilize this in a generic way and have the
 translation tables for the various CPUs in one place.

  Yikes. From which Intel cookbook is this ?

  Aside of that we have that info in boot_cpu_info already, don't we ?
  So there is neither a requirement for the extra cpuid call nor for
  the extra mrst_cpu_chip id magic.

  Are we going to add one of those for each new family ? This is
  really redundant bloat with no value.
