/**
 * DOC: overview
 *
 * The Performance and Energy Bias Hint (EPB) allows software to specify its
 * preference with respect to the power-performance tradeoffs present in the
 * processor.  Generally, the EPB is expected to be set by user space (directly
 * via sysfs or with the help of the x86_energy_perf_policy tool), but there are
 * two reasons for the kernel to update it.
 *
 * First, there are systems where the platform firmware resets the EPB during
 * system-wide transitions from sleep states back into the working state
 * effectively causing the previous EPB updates by user space to be lost.
 * Thus the kernel needs to save the current EPB values for all CPUs during
 * system-wide transitions to sleep states and restore them on the way back to
 * the working state.  That can be achieved by saving EPB for secondary CPUs
 * when they are taken offline during transitions into system sleep states and
 * for the boot CPU in a syscore suspend operation, so that it can be restored
 * for the boot CPU in a syscore resume operation and for the other CPUs when
 * they are brought back online.  However, CPUs that are already offline when
 * a system-wide PM transition is started are not taken offline again, but their
 * EPB values may still be reset by the platform firmware during the transition,
 * so in fact it is necessary to save the EPB of any CPU taken offline and to
 * restore it when the given CPU goes back online at all times.
 *
 * Second, on many systems the initial EPB value coming from the platform
 * firmware is 0 ('performance') and at least on some of them that is because
 * the platform firmware does not initialize EPB at all with the assumption that
 * the OS will do that anyway.  That sometimes is problematic, as it may cause
 * the system battery to drain too fast, for example, so it is better to adjust
 * it on CPU bring-up and if the initial EPB value for a given CPU is 0, the
 * kernel changes it to 6 ('normal').
