PECI seems to play a major role in the communication between the BMC and
x86 CPUs, as a lot of the system control/status infrastructure is only
accessible by the BMC through PECI.

Possible use cases may be:

- Get CPU temperature.
- Get CPU machine check exception info.
- After a cold boot, delay CPU start until BMC is up and running.
