Issue 247: Broken P/C-State Detection on Sandy Bridge Core i7 2600

Reported by Moik The, Apr 25, 2012

Howdi!

Since I got my new Sandy Bridge Core i7 2600 the automatic 
generation of C and P states never worked for me. 

First I noticed my DSDT missed the ProcessorOPs which I added as 
followed:

 Scope (_PR)
 {
        Processor (CPU0, 0x00, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
        Processor (CPU1, 0x01, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
        Processor (CPU2, 0x02, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
        Processor (CPU3, 0x03, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
        Processor (CPU4, 0x04, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
        Processor (CPU5, 0x05, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
        Processor (CPU6, 0x06, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
        Processor (CPU7, 0x07, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
 }

Pretty standard I guess. Then the state generation reported me 
"insane control values" as my maximum multiplier has been 
detected as value 0x00. 

After looking at the code I noticed that the max state has been read 
from the wrong location. 

Here's a patch fixing it. Please not that I also added some more 
debugging output which may be removed again. 

Greetz, 
Mike
