We don't seem to have reached much of an agreement on the general
direction of RFC2, so I can't really get started with it. Here is RFC1
for the record:

https://github.com/curro/linux/commits/intel_pstate-lp-hwp-v10.8-alt

Specifically the following patch conflicts with this series:

https://github.com/curro/linux/commit/9a16f35531bbb76d38493da892ece088e31dc2e0

Series improves performance-per-watt of GfxBench gl_4 (AKA Car Chase) by
over 15% on my system with the branch above, actual FPS "only" improves
about 5.9% on ICL laptop due to it being very lightly TDP-bound with its
rather huge TDP. The performance of almost every graphics benchmark
I've tried improves significantly with it (a number of SynMark
test-cases are improved by around 40% in perf-per-watt, Egypt
perf-per-watt improves by about 25%).

Hopefully we can come up with some alternative plan of action.
