Default SLPC power profile is Base(0). Power Saving mode(1)
has conservative up/down thresholds and is suitable for use with
apps that typically need to be power efficient.
Selected power profile will be displayed in this format-
$ cat slpc_power_profile
[base] power_saving
$ echo power_saving > slpc_power_profile
$ cat slpc_power_profile
base [power_saving]
v2: Disable waitboost in power saving profile, update sysfs
format and add some kernel doc for SLPC (Rodrigo)
v3: Update doc with info about power profiles (Rodrigo)
v4: Checkpatch warning and remove extra line (Rodrigo)

Allow user to provide a low latency context hint. When set, KMD
sends a hint to GuC which results in special handling for this
context. SLPC will ramp the GT frequency aggressively every time
it switches to this context. The down freq threshold will also be
lower so GuC will ramp down the GT freq for this context more slowly.
We also disable waitboost for this context as that will interfere with
the strategy.
We need to enable the use of SLPC Compute strategy during init, but
it will apply only to contexts that set this bit during context
creation.
Userland can check whether this feature is supported using a new param-
I915_PARAM_HAS_CONTEXT_FREQ_HINT. This flag is true for all guc submission
enabled platforms as they use SLPC for frequency management.
The Mesa usage model for this flag is here -
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/sushmave/mesa/-/commits/compute_hint
v2: Rename flags as per review suggestions (Rodrigo, Tvrtko).
Also, use flag bits in intel_context as it allows finer control for
toggling per engine if needed (Tvrtko).
v3: Minor review comments (Tvrtko)
v4: Update comment (Sushma)

SLPC enables use of efficient freq at init by default. It is
possible for GuC to request frequencies that are higher than
the 'software' max if user has set it lower than the efficient
level.
Scenarios/tests that require strict fixing of freq below the efficient
level will need to disable it through this interface.
v2: Keep just one interface to toggle sysfs. With this, user will
be completely responsible for toggling efficient frequency if need
be. There will be no implicit disabling when user sets min < RP1 (Ashutosh)
v3: Remove unused label, review comments (Ashutosh)
v4: Toggle efficient freq usage in SLPC selftest and checkpatch fixes
v5: Review comments (Andi) and add a separate patch for selftest updates

Define helpers and struct members required to record boost info.
Boost frequency is initialized to RP0 at SLPC init. Also define num_waiters
which can track the pending boost requests.
Boost will be done by scheduling a worker thread. This will avoid
the need to make H2G calls inside an interrupt context. Initialize the
worker function during SLPC init as well. Had to move intel_guc_slpc_init
a few lines below to accommodate this.
v2: Add a workqueue to handle waitboost
v3: Code review comments (Ashutosh)
