    commit cee22a15 ("workqueues: Introduce new flag WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT
    for power oriented workqueues") introduced the concept of power
    efficient workqueues (4 years back), but it was never enabled in
    upstream kernel configs.
    
    Power efficient workqueues are simply marked as "unbound," so that jobs
    queued to them can run on any CPU in the system. It leaves the target
    CPU selection to the scheduler, which is the best place for such
    decision making. This improves power efficiency for workqueues which are
    otherwise pinned to a CPU.
    
    Enable it for ARM64 platforms as ARM platforms were the main target for
    the introduction of power efficient workqueues.
