Johnny Lin 749a78d179 soc/intel/xeon_sp/cpx: Disable isoch operation for performance
Isochronous operation negatively impacts memory performance, as
per Intel MLC (Memory Latency Checker) benchmark results. Thus,
disable isochronous operation, like analogous UEFI firmware does.
The MLC results after disabling isoch:

"--max_bandwidth"
ALL Reads :         106948.17
3:1 Reads-Writes :  101580.46
2:1 Reads-Writes :  100523.26
1:1 Reads-Writes :  99059.44
Stream-triad like : 97762.47

"--peak_injection_bandwidth"
ALL Reads :         105724.3
3:1 Reads-Writes :  100655.8
2:1 Reads-Writes :  99463
1:1 Reads-Writes :  98708
Stream-triad like : 91515

The MLC results before disabling isoch:

"--max_bandwidth"
ALL Reads :         88824.96
3:1 Reads-Writes :  94820.81
2:1 Reads-Writes :  94867.53
1:1 Reads-Writes :  92567.36
Stream-triad like : 91900.43

"--peak_injection_bandwidth"
ALL Reads :         88859.6
3:1 Reads-Writes :  94064
2:1 Reads-Writes :  94186.2
1:1 Reads-Writes :  92516.1
Stream-triad like : 85147.4

TEST=On OCP Delta Lake, verify that MLC benchmark results have
improved.
