+Description:	Performance Limited
+
+		Read to check if platform throttling (thermal/power/current
+		limits) caused delivered performance to fall below the
+		requested level. A non-zero value indicates throttling occurred.
+
+		Write the bitmask of bits to clear:
+		  1 = clear bit 0 (desired performance excursion)
+		  2 = clear bit 1 (minimum performance excursion)
+		  3 = clear both bits
+		The platform sets these bits; OSPM can only clear them.
