peci: Add sysfs interface for PECI bus
PECI devices may not be discoverable at the time when PECI controller is
being added (e.g. BMC can boot up when the Host system is still in S5).
Since we currently don't have the capabilities to figure out the Host
system state inside the PECI subsystem itself, we have to rely on
userspace to do it for us.
In the future, PECI subsystem may be expanded with mechanisms that allow
us to avoid depending on userspace interaction (e.g. CPU presence could
be detected using GPIO, and the information on whether it's discoverable
could be obtained over IPMI).
Unfortunately, those methods may ultimately not be available (support
will vary from platform to platform), which means that we still need
platform independent method triggered by userspace.
