Subject: [PATCH v7 09/12] x86/process: Clear hardware feedback history for AMD processors

From: Perry Yuan <perry.yuan@....com>

Incorporate a mechanism within the context switching code to reset
the hardware history for AMD processors. Specifically, when a task
is switched in, the class ID was read and reset the hardware workload
classification history of CPU firmware and then it start to trigger
workload classification for the next running thread.
