Subject: [PATCH V3 2/2] cpufreq: AMD "frequency sensitivity feedback" powersave bias for ondemand governor
Future AMD processors, starting with Family 16h, can provide software
with feedback on how the workload may respond to frequency change --
memory-bound workloads will not benefit from higher frequency, where
as compute-bound workloads will. This patch enables this "frequency
sensitivity feedback" to aid the ondemand governor to make better
frequency change decisions by hooking into the powersave bias.

+ better as frequnecy increases.
