    ACPI: Add function to write _PPC using NVS
    
    The existing NVS variable for PPCM will be used to
    select a dynamic max P-state.
    
    By itself this does not change existing behavior because
    the NVS PPCM variable is initialized to zero.
    
    PPCM can be tested by building and booting a modified BIOS
    that sets gnvs->ppcm to a value greater than 1 and checking
    from the OS that the P-state is limited to that value.
