The energy calculation in EAS does arithmetic operation based on the EM em_cpu_energy(). Current implementation of that function uses em_perf_state::cost as a pre-computed cost coefficient equal to: cost = power * max_frequency / frequency. The 'power' is expressed in milli-Watts (or in abstract scale). There are corner cases then the EAS energy calculation for two Performance Domains (PDs) return the same value, e.g. 10mW. The EAS compares these values to choose smaller one. It might happen that this values are equal due to rounding error. In such scenario, we need better precision, e.g. 10000 times better. To provide this possibility increase the precision on the em_perf_state::cost. This patch allows to avoid the rounding to milli-Watt errors, which might occur in EAS energy estimation for each Performance Domains (PD). The rounding error is common for small tasks which have small utilization values. The rest of the EM code doesn't change, em_perf_state::power is still expressed in milli-Watts (or in abstract scale). Thus, all existing platforms don't have to change their reported power. The same applies to EM clients, like thermal or DTPM (they use em_perf_state::power).
