Subject: [PATCH v8 8/8] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Use CPPC to get max performance

From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

This change uses acpi cppc_lib interface to get CPPC performance limits
and calls scheduler interface to update per cpu highest priority. If
there is a difference in highest performance of each CPUs, call scheduler
interface to enable ITMT feature for only one time.

Here sched_set_itmt_core_prio() is called to set priorities and
sched_set_itmt_support() is called to enable ITMT feature.
