Hi,

Capacity-aware scheduling is now supported on Intel hybrid processors. It
makes sense now to populate the interface /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/
cpu_capacity. User space entities can use this information to implement
policy such as utilization clamps.

This interface currently lives in arch_topology.c. Rather than implementing
the interface again for x86, we can move it to a common location in
topology.c from which other architectures can also benefit and populate
using their own mechanisms.

I tested this patchset on Intel Alder Lake and DragonBoard 845c. The
interfaces are populated correctly.

I'd appreciate any feedback!

Thanks and BR,
Ricardo
