PM / arch: x86: MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS sysfs interface

The Performance and Energy Bias Hint (EPB) is expected to be set by
user space through the generic MSR interface, but that interface is
not particularly nice and there are security concerns regarding it,
so it is not always available.

For this reason, add a sysfs interface for reading and updating the
EPB, in the form of a new attribute, energy_perf_bias, located
under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu#/power/ for online CPUs that
support the EPB feature.

+Intel Performance and Energy Bias Attribute in ``sysfs``
+========================================================
+
+The Intel Performance and Energy Bias Hint (EPB) value for a given (logical) CPU
+can be checked or updated through a ``sysfs`` attribute (file) under
+:file:`/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu<N>/power/`, where the CPU number ``<N>``
+is allocated at the system initialization time:
+
+``energy_perf_bias``
+	Shows the current EPB value for the CPU in a sliding scale 0 - 15, where
+	a value of 0 corresponds to a hint preference for highest performance
+	and a value of 15 corresponds to the maximum energy savings.
+
+	In order to update the EPB value for the CPU, this attribute can be
+	written to, either with a number in the 0 - 15 sliding scale above, or
+	with one of the strings: "performance", "balance-performance", "normal",
+	"balance-power", "power" that represent values reflected by their
+	meaning.
+
+	This attribute is present for all online CPUs supporting the EPB
+	feature.
+
+Note that while the EPB interface to the processor is defined at the logical CPU
+level, the physical register backing it may be shared by multiple CPUs (for
+example, SMT siblings or cores in one package).  For this reason, updating the
+EPB value for one CPU may cause the EPB values for other CPUs to change.
