arm: Enable max freq invariant scheduler load-tracking and capacity support
Maximum Frequency Invariance has to be part of Cpu Invariance because
Frequency Invariance deals only with differences in load-tracking
introduces by Dynamic Frequency Scaling and not with limiting the
possible range of cpu frequency.
By placing Maximum Frequency Invariance into Cpu Invariance,
load-tracking is scaled via arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
in __update_load_avg() and cpu capacity is scaled via
arch_scale_cpu_capacity() in update_cpu_capacity().
To be able to save the extra multiplication in the scheduler hotpath
(__update_load_avg()) we could:
1 Inform cpufreq about base cpu capacity at boot and let it handle
scale_cpu_capacity() as well.
2 Use the cpufreq policy callback which would update a per-cpu current
cpu_scale and this value would be return in scale_cpu_capacity().
3 Use per-cpu current max_freq_scale and current cpu_scale with the
current patch.
