r357614 added CTLFLAG_NEEDGIANT to make it easier to find nodes that are
still not MPSAFE (or already are but aren’t properly marked).
Use it in preparation for a general review of all nodes.
This is non-functional change that adds annotations to SYSCTL_NODE and
SYSCTL_PROC nodes using one of the soon-to-be-required flags.
Mark all obvious cases as MPSAFE. All entries that haven't been marked
as MPSAFE before are by default marked as NEEDGIANT

If package-level control is present, we default to using it. Per-core
software control may be enabled by setting the machdep.hwpstate_pkg_ctrl
tunable to "0" in loader.conf(5).
Per Intel SDM (Vol 3b Part 2), if HWP indicates EPP (energy-performance
preference) is not supported, the hardware instead uses the ENERGY_PERF_BIAS
MSR. In the epp sysctl handler, fall back to that MSR if HWP does not
support EPP and CPUID indicates the ENERGY_PERF_BIAS MSR is supported.
I don't know why a Skylake CPU with the HWP feature bit present would trap
on MSR reads of the HWP registers, but if this occurs, do not leave the
attach thread bound. This could conceivably cause reported hangs, although
I have no evidence that this is the cause.

These were all introduced in the initial import of hwpstate_intel(4).

DRIVER_MODULE does not actually define a MODULE_VERSION, which is required
to satisfy a MODULE_DEPENDency. Declare one explicitly in
hwpstate_intel(4).

Intel Speed Shift is Intel's technology to control frequency in hardware,
with hints from software.
Let's get a working version of this in the tree and we can refine it from
here.
