Leah Rowe bd4ea9a028 gm45: re-add mitigations for no-microcode setup
libreboot will still include microcode updates
by default, but mitigations against broken speedstep
and reboot (when microcode updates are excluded) were
removed following the merge with osboot

this patch restores those mitigations; the patch
reverts coreboot to older smrr code (which works fine, it
isn't critical to use the new behaviour) and disables peci
(pointless feature)

i'll probably re-tool this later to apply the changes
conditionally to whether ucode is present

this is not a change in policy. policy says:
include cpu microcode updates by default

policy also says:
libreboot must be configurable

microcode removal via cbfstool remove -n, counts as
configuration, and in practise is not possible on
gm45 patches in current libreboot; this patch corrects
that problem, allowing the machines to work somewhat
well (same stability issues as before, like MCE errors
resulting in kernel panic on high CPU/memory usage,
but i digress)

happy... hacking

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix speedstep on x200/t400: Revert
"cpu/intel/model_1067x: enable PECI"
This reverts commit 70fea013c7ebd6d85a7806748233fcfd76802f5f.
Enabling PECI without microcode updates loaded causes the CPUID feature set
to become corrupted. And one consequence is broken SpeedStep. At least, that's
my understanding looking at Intel Errata. This revert is not a fix, because
upstream is correct (upstream assumes microcode updates). We will simply
maintain this revert patch in Libreboot, from now on.
