[patch 3/3] KVM: x86: frequency change hypercalls

[Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: kvm-cpufreq-api --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4840 bytes --]

Implement min/max/up/down frequency change 
KVM hypercalls. To be used by DPDK implementation.

Also allow such hypercalls from guest userspace.

 Returns KVM_EOPNOTSUPP if the host does not use TSC clocksource,
 or if clock type is different than KVM_CLOCK_PAIRING_WALLCLOCK.
+
+7. KVM_HC_FREQ_UP
+-----------------
+
+Architecture: x86
+Status: active
+Purpose: Hypercall used to increase frequency to the next
+higher frequency.
+Usage example: DPDK power aware applications, that run on
+isolated CPUs. No input argument, returns 0 if success,
+1 if already at lowest frequency, error otherwise.
+
+8. KVM_HC_FREQ_DOWN
+---------------------
+
+Architecture: x86
+Status: active
+Purpose: Hypercall used to decrease frequency to the next
+lower frequency.
+Usage example: DPDK power aware applications, that run on
+isolated CPUs. No input argument, returns 0 if success,
+1 if already at lowest frequency, negative error otherwise.
+
+9. KVM_HC_FREQ_MIN
+-------------------
+
+Architecture: x86
+Status: active
+Purpose: Hypercall used to decrease frequency to the
+minimum frequency.
+Usage example: DPDK power aware applications, that run
+on isolated CPUs. No input argument, returns 0 if success
+error otherwise.
+
+10. KVM_HC_FREQ_MAX
+-------------------
+
+Architecture: x86
+Status: active
+Purpose: Hypercall used to increase frequency to the
+maximum frequency.
+Usage example: DPDK power aware applications, that run
+on isolated CPUs. No input argument, returns 0 if success
+error otherwise.
