What does it even mean for a monitor to be a compute mon?
When a monitor is marked compute-mon it means that the table is
followed religiously irrespective whether the instruction per miss
count threshold (ipm) is exceeded or not. Equivalent to having
a cpufreq map -> l3/DDR bw mapping upstream.
I'm sorta puzzled why the OS would even be required to program this, since
L3/DDR/CPU frequencies are known by various stages of boot and secure firmware
too.
What happens if we omit this? Is the default configuration identical to this?
Or does it need explicit enabling?
