All opps above the sustained level/frequency are treated as boost, so mark

Can't we just use dom->sustained_freq_khz * 1000UL in both the cases ?

sure, I retained sustained_perf_level because I wasn't sure how the
sustained_perf_level would be populated in systems not using level
indexing mode.


Other than that this series looks good to me but it would be good to
explain how you would use this. Since it is enabled by default, do you
plan to disable boost at time and when ? If it is for thermal reasons,
why your other series handling thermal and limits notification from the
firmware not sufficient.

Boost frequencies defined in X1E are achievable by only one CPU in a
cluster i.e. either the other CPUs in the same cluster should be in low
power mode or offline. So it's mostly for book keeping i.e. we wouldn't
to intimate incorrectly that the CPUs are running at max possible
frequency when it's actually running at a lower frequency.
