thermal: intel: hfi: Enable notification interrupt
When hardware wants to inform the operating system about updates in the HFI table, it issues a package-level thermal event interrupt. For this, hardware has new interrupt and status bits in the IA32_PACKAGE_THERM_ INTERRUPT and IA32_PACKAGE_THERM_STATUS registers. The existing thermal throttle driver already handles thermal event interrupts: it initializes the thermal vector of the local APIC as well as per-CPU and package-level interrupt reporting. It also provides routines to service such interrupts. Extend its functionality to also handle HFI interrupts. The frequency of the thermal HFI interrupt is specific to each processor model. On some processors, a single interrupt happens as soon as the HFI is enabled and hardware will never update HFI capabilities afterwards. On other processors, thermal and power constraints may cause thermal HFI interrupts every tens of milliseconds. To not overwhelm consumers of the HFI data, use delayed work to throttle the rate at which HFI updates are processed. Use a dedicated workqueue to not overload system_wq if hardware issues many HFI updates.
