    Fixes several issues with amd k8 SSDT P-state generation
    
    First issue fixed:
    For multi-socket CPU the current implementation emitted
    Processor objects for cores in the first CPU only. This
    commit fixes the bug by really emitting one Processor
    object for each core. However, the unlikely case of mixed
    CPU models is still not handled correctly.
    
    Second issue fixed:
    One loop was wrong in case a processor in the table declares
    no P-states at all. The rewritten loop is safe. Some possibly
    dangerous array lengths were also fixed.
    
    Third issue: on MP-boards the recommended ramp-voltage (RVO) is 0mV
    according to the BKDG. The current implementation always set it
    to 25mV. This commit selects 0 or 25mV depending on CONFIG_MAX_PHYSICAL_CPUS.
    
    Fourth issue: If a processor without PowerNow! support was inserted in a
    system with coreboot configured with SET_FIDVID then the boot process hanged
    mysteriously and very early. Apparently because init_fidvid_ap tampers with
    non-existing registers. This commit fixes the bug by bailing out
    from init_fidvid_ap if PowerNow! capability is missing.
