    x86: Look for IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS support · 23016bf0
    Venkatesh Pallipadi authored
    The new IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS MSR allows system software to give
    hardware a hint whether OS policy favors more power saving,
    or more performance.  This allows the OS to have some influence
    on internal hardware power/performance tradeoffs where the OS
    has previously had no influence.
    
    The support for this feature is indicated by CPUID.06H.ECX.bit3,
    as documented in the Intel Architectures Software Developer's Manual.
    
    This patch discovers support of this feature and displays it
    as "epb" in /proc/cpuinfo.
