+/**
+ * DOC: overview
+ *
+ * The Performance and Energy Bias Hint (EPB) allows software to specify its
+ * preference with respect to the power-performance tradeoffs present in the
+ * processor. Generally, the EPB is expected to be set by user space through
+ * the generic MSR interface (with the help of the x86_energy_perf_policy tool),
+ * but there are two reasons for the kernel to touch it.
+ *
+ * First, there are systems where the platform firmware resets the EPB during
+ * system-wide transitions from sleep states back into the working state
+ * effectively causing the previous EPB updates by user space to be lost.
+ * Thus the kernel needs to save the current EPB values for all CPUs during
+ * system-wide transitions to sleep states and restore them on the way back to
+ * the working state. That can be achieved by saving EPB for secondary CPUs
+ * when they are taken offline during transitions into system sleep states and
+ * for the boot CPU in a syscore suspend operation, so that it can be restored
+ * for the boot CPU in a syscore resume operation and for the other CPUs when
+ * they are brought back online. However, CPUs that are already offline when
+ * a system-wide PM transition is started are not taken offline again, but their
+ * EPB values may still be reset by the platform firmware during the transition,
+ * so in fact it is necessary to save the EPB of any CPU taken offline and to
+ * restore it when the given CPU goes back online at all times.
+ *
+ * Second, on many systems the initial EPB value coming from the platform
+ * firmware is 0 ('performance') and at least on some of them that is because
+ * the platform firmware does not initialize EPB at all with the assumption that
+ * the OS will do that anyway. That sometimes is problematic, as it may cause
+ * the system battery to drain too fast, for example, so it is better to adjust
+ * it on CPU bring-up and if the initial EPB value for a given CPU is 0, the
+ * kernel changes it to 6 ('normal').
