v4:
- Split x86 multi-node numa topology bug fix and setting
of SD_ASYM flag for ITMT topology into 2 patches
- Split the sysctl changes for ITMT enablement and setting of ITMT
capability/core priorities into 2 patches.
- Avoid unnecessary rebuild of sched domains when ITMT sysctl or
capabilities are updated.
- Fix missing stub function for topology_max_packages for !SMP case.
- Rename set_sched_itmt() to sched_set_itmt_support().
- Various updates to itmt.c to eliminate goto and make logic tighter.
- Various change logs and comments update.
- intel_pstate: Split function to process cppc and enable ITMT
- intel_pstate: Just keep the cppc_perf information till we use CPPC for HWP
v3:
- Fix race clash when more than one program are enabling/disabling ITMT
- Remove group_priority_cpu macro to simplify code.
- Error reported by 0-day for compile issue on ARM
v2
- The patchset is split into two parts so that CPPC changes can be merged first
1. Only ACPI CPPC changes (It is posted separately)
2. ITMT changes (scheduler and Intel P-State)
- Changes in patch: sched,x86: Enable Turbo Boost Max Technology
1. Use arch_update_cpu_topology to indicate need to completely
rebuild sched domain when ITMT related sched domain flags change
2. Enable client (single node) platform capable of ITMT with ITMT
scheduling by default
3. Implement arch_asym_cpu_priority to provide the cpu priority
value to scheduler for asym packing.
4. Fix a compile bug for i386 architecture.
- Changes in patch: sched: Extend scheduler's asym packing
1. Use arch_asym_cpu_priority() to provide cpu priority
value used for asym packing to the scheduler.
- Changes in acpi: bus: Enable HWP CPPC objects and
acpi: bus: Set _OSC for diverse core support
Minor code cleanup by removing #ifdef
- Changes in Kconfig for Intel P-State
Avoid building CPPC lib for i386 for issue reported by 0-day
- Feature is enabled by default for single socket systems
With Intel® Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 (ITMT), single-threaded performance is
optimized by identifying processor's fastest core and running critical workloads
on it.

This patchset consist of all changes required to support ITMT feature:
- Use CPPC information in Intel P-State driver to get performance information
- Scheduler enhancements
- cppc lib patches (split in to a seprate series)
