As per ACPI specification "Guaranteed Performance Register" is a "Buffer" field. It can't be "Integer" field. So treat "Integer" type as invalid and ignore "Guaranteed Performance Register". Also save one cpc_read() call, when "Guaranteed Performance Register" is not present, which means register defined as: "Register(SystemMemory, 0, 0, 0, 0)".
