This is IMHO hard to get since:

  struct em_perf_table {
    struct rcu_head rcu;
    struct kref kref;
    struct em_perf_state state[];
  };

So very often a 'struct em_perf_table' is named 'table' and 'struct
em_perf_table::state' as well. E.g. in em_adjust_new_capacity().

  struct em_perf_state *new_table;

  new_table = em_table->state;

In older EM code, we used 'struct em_perf_state *ps' to avoid this
confusion, I guess.

And what you get from the PD is actually a state vector so maybe:

struct em_perf_state *em_get_perf_states(struct em_perf_domain *pd)

The 'from_pd' seems obvious because of the parameter?
