Provide to the scheduler a feedback about the temporary max available
capacity. Unlike arch_update_thermal_pressure, this doesn't need to be
filtered as the pressure will happen for dozens ms or more.

Is this then related to the 'medium pace system pressure' you mentioned
in your OSPM '23 talk?

               ^^^^^^^
IMHO, this is a copy & paste error from topology_update_thermal_pressure()?

max_freq seems to be uninitialized.

Is this x86 (turbo boost) specific? IMHO at arm we follow this max freq
(including boost) relates to 1024 in capacity? Or haven't we made this
discussion yet?

argh yes, I made crap while cleaning up
both max_freq and capped_freq are uninitialized

This is not x86 specific. We can have capped_freq > max_freq on Arm too

Also this bypass all calculation below when max_freq == capped_freq
which is the most common case

Sorry I forgot to answer this question. Yes this is the medium pace
system pressure that I mentioned at OSPM'23
