From: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.j.brande...@intel.com>
Using a VID value that is not high enough for the requested P state can
cause machine checks. Add a ceiling function to ensure calulated VIDs
with fractional values are set to the next highest integer VID value.
The algorythm for calculating the non-trubo VID from the BIOS writers
guide is:
vid_ratio = (vid_max - vid_min) / (max_pstate - min_pstate)
vid = ceiling(vid_min + (req_pstate - min_pstate) * vid_ratio)
