[PATCH 4/6] intel_pstate: Use LFM bus ratio as min ratio/P state

From: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.j.brandewie at intel.com>

LFM (max efficiency ratio) is the max frequency at minimum voltage
supported by the processor.  Using LFM as the minimum P state
increases performmance without affecting power. By not using P states
below LFM we avoid using P states that are less power efficient.
