Power Management Architecture (Wbox)
Intel Xeon Processor E7-8800/4800/2800 Product Families expects mailbox sideband
limit request as core clock multiplier ratio corresponding to a valid P-state defined in
ACPI table (ACPI table is visible to PECI Host Controller). The pcode support for
mailbox interface will be designed to accept all possible P-states (clock ratios) limit
requests, it will allow design flexibility to add any new p-state between P1 and Pn. it
expects from PECI host to request only valid P-state same as defined in ACPI table.

MAILBOX_READ_P_STATE_LIMIT (request type = 0x24)
This mailbox command is used by PECI host to readout socket's current sideband P-
state limit. The response data will reflect any clipping applied on this limit internally by
sockets.
