 * On platforms supporting Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0, (ITMT),

 * higher than for the other cores in the same package.  In that case,
 * better performance can be achieved by making the scheduler prefer
 * to run tasks on the CPUs with higher max turbo frequencies.

 * This file provides functions and data structures for enabling the
 * scheduler to favor scheduling on cores can be boosted to a higher
 * frequency under ITMT.
