[PATCH v2 0/6] consolidate and cleanup CPU capacity

[Vincent Guittot]

This is the 1st part of consolidating how the max compute capacity is
used in the scheduler and how we calculate the frequency for a level of
utilization.

Fix some unconsistancy when computing frequency for an utilization. There
can be a mismatch between energy model and schedutil.

Next step will be to make a difference between the original
max compute capacity of a CPU and what is currently available when
there is a capping applying forever (i.e. seconds or more).


Changes since v1:
- Fix typos
- Added changes in cpufreq to use arch_scale_freq_ref() when calling
  arch_set_freq_scale (patch 3).
- arch_scale_freq_ref() is always defined and returns 0 (as proposed
  by Ionela) when not defined by the arch. This simplifies the code with
  the addition of patch 3.
- Simplify Energy Model which always uses arch_scale_freq_ref(). The
  latter returns 0 when not defined by arch instead of last item of the 
  perf domain. This is not a problem because the function is only defined
  for compilation purpose in this case and we don't care about the
  returned value. (patch 5)
- Added changes in cppc cpufreq to set capacity_ref_freq (patch 6)
- Added reviewed tag for patch 1 which got a minor change but not for
  others as I did some changes which could make previous reviewed tag
  no more relevant.

Vincent Guittot (6):
  sched: consolidate and cleanup access to CPU's max compute capacity
  topology: add a new arch_scale_freq_reference
  cpufreq: use the fixed and coherent frequency for scaling capacity
  cpufreq/schedutil: use a fixed reference frequency
  energy_model: use a fixed reference frequency
  cpufreq/cppc: set the frequency used for capacity computation
