The performance doesn't scale linearly with the frequency. Also, it may be different in different workloads. Some CPUs are designed to be particularly good at some applications e.g. images or video processing and other CPUs in different. When those different types of CPUs are combined in one SoC they should be properly modeled to get max of the HW in Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS). The Energy Model (EM) provides the power vs. performance curves to the EAS, but assumes the CPUs capacity is fixed and scales linearly with the frequency. This patch allows to adjust the curve on the 'performance' axis as well. Code speed optimization: Removing map_util_freq() allows to avoid one division and one multiplication operations from the EAS hot code path.
