Some web wearching indicates that PECI is an Intel specific protocol, so
no need for vendor checks.

I've re-worked the peci patches (combining the core and hwmon bits) to
switch from separate "family" and "model" fields and checks to using
the same x86_vfm combined value.

The peci patch is included below. But you can see it in context in:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux.git new_families_v5_wip

The x86 build of these bits works. But I don't have cross-compile
enviroment to check non-X86 builds. Also no way to test.
