x86/cpufeatures: Add X86_FEATURE_AMD_WORKLOAD_CLASS feature bit
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add a new feature bit that indicates support for workload-based heuristic
feedback to OS for scheduling decisions.

When the bit set, threads are classified during runtime into enumerated
classes. The classes represent thread performance/power characteristics
that may benefit from special scheduling behaviors.
