Pierre Gondois 6380b7b2b2 ACPI: CPPC: Assume no transition latency if no PCCT 
The transition_delay_us (struct cpufreq_policy) is currently defined
as:
  Preferred average time interval between consecutive invocations of
  the driver to set the frequency for this policy.  To be set by the
  scaling driver (0, which is the default, means no preference).
The transition_latency represents the amount of time necessary for a
CPU to change its frequency.

A PCCT table advertises mutliple values:
- pcc_nominal: Expected latency to process a command, in microseconds
- pcc_mpar: The maximum number of periodic requests that the subspace
  channel can support, reported in commands per minute. 0 indicates no
  limitation.
- pcc_mrtt: The minimum amount of time that OSPM must wait after the
  completion of a command before issuing the next command,
  in microseconds.
cppc_get_transition_latency() allows to get the max of them.

commit d4f3388afd ("cpufreq / CPPC: Set platform specific
transition_delay_us") allows to select transition_delay_us based on
the platform, and fallbacks to cppc_get_transition_latency()
otherwise.

If _CPC objects are not using PCC channels (no PPCT table), the
transition_delay_us is set to CPUFREQ_ETERNAL, leading to really long
periods between frequency updates (~4s).

If the desired_reg, where performance requests are written, is in
SystemMemory or SystemIo ACPI address space, there is no delay
in requests. So return 0 instead of CPUFREQ_ETERNAL, leading to
transition_delay_us being set to LATENCY_MULTIPLIER us (1000 us).

This patch also adds two macros to check the address spaces.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
