This patch adds platform_profile support for Dell devices which implement
User Selectable Thermal Tables (USTT) that are meant to be controlled by
Alienware Command Center (AWCC). These devices may include newer Alienware
M-Series, Alienware X-Series and Dell's G-Series. This patch, was tested
by me on an Alienware x15 R1.

v4:
- Fixed indentation on previous code
- Removed unnecessary (acpi_size) and (u32 *) casts
- Return -EIO on ACPI_FAILURE
- Appropiate prefixes given to macros
- 0xFFFFFFFF named WMAX_FAILURE_CODE
- Added support for a new set of thermal codes. Old ones now have USTT
in their names
- A new quirk has been added to differantiate between the two sets.
thermal and thermal_ustt are mutually exclusive
- Added documentation for WMAX interface
v3:
- Removed extra empty line
- 0x0B named WMAX_ARG_GET_CURRENT_PROF
- Removed casts to the same type on functions added in this patch
- Thermal profile to WMAX argument is now an static function and makes
use of in-built kernel macros
- Platform profile is now removed only if it was created first
- create_platform_profile is now create_thermal_profile to avoid
confusion
- profile_get and profile_set functions renamed too to match the above
v2:
- Moved functionality to alienware-wmi driver
- Added thermal and gmode quirks to add support based on dmi match
- Performance profile is now GMODE for devices that support it
- alienware_wmax_command now is insize agnostic to support new thermal
methods
