 *
 * CPPC describes a few methods for controlling CPU performance using
 * information from a per CPU table called CPC. This table is described in
 * the ACPI v5.0+ specification. The table consists of a list of
 * registers which may be memory mapped or hardware registers and also may
 * include some static integer values.
 *
 * CPU performance is on an abstract continuous scale as against a discretized
 * P-state scale which is tied to CPU frequency only. In brief, the basic
 * operation involves:
 *
 * - OS makes a CPU performance request. (Can provide min and max bounds)
 *
 * - Platform (such as BMC) is free to optimize request within requested bounds
 *   depending on power/thermal budgets etc.
 *
 * - Platform conveys its decision back to OS
 *
 * The communication between OS and platform occurs through another medium
 * called (PCC) Platform Communication Channel. This is a generic mailbox like
 * mechanism which includes doorbell semantics to indicate register updates.
 * See drivers/mailbox/pcc.c for details on PCC.
 *
 * Finer details about the PCC and CPPC spec are available in the ACPI v5.1 and
 * above specifications.
