cpufreq: add virtual-cpufreq driver
Introduce a virtualized cpufreq driver for guest kernels to improve performance and power of workloads within VMs. This driver does two main things: 1. Sends the frequency of vCPUs as a hint to the host. The host uses the hint to schedule the vCPU threads and decide physical CPU frequency. 2. If a VM does not support a virtualized FIE(like AMUs), it queries the host CPU frequency by reading a MMIO region of a virtual cpufreq device to update the guest's frequency scaling factor periodically. This enables accurate Per-Entity Load Tracking for tasks running in the guest. Co-developed-by:Saravana Kannan <saravanak@google.com> Signed-off-by:
