Intel processors provide access for various services designed to support
processor and DRAM thermal management, platform manageability and
processor interface tuning and diagnostics.
Those services are available via the Platform Environment Control
Interface (PECI) that provides a communication channel between the
processor and the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) or other
platform management device.

This change introduces PECI subsystem by adding the initial core module
and API for controller drivers.
