+powersave_bias: this parameter takes a value between 0 to 1000. It
+defines the percentage (times 10) value of the target frequency that
+will be shaved off of the target. For example, when set to 100 -- 10%,
+when ondemand governor would have targeted 1000 MHz, it will target
+1000 MHz - (10% of 1000 MHz) = 900 MHz instead. This is set to 0
+(disabled) by default.
+When AMD frequency sensitivity powersave bias driver --
+drivers/cpufreq/amd_freq_sensitivity.c is loaded, this parameter
+defines the workload frequency sensitivity threshold in which a lower
+frequency is chosen instead of ondemand governor's original target.
+The frequency sensitivity is a hardware reported (on AMD Family 16h
+Processors and above) value between 0 to 100% that tells software how
+the performance of the workload running on a CPU will change when
+frequency changes. A workload with sensitivity of 0% (memory/IO-bound)
+will not perform any better on higher core frequency, whereas a
+workload with sensitivity of 100% (CPU-bound) will perform better
+higher the frequency. When the driver is loaded, this is set to 400
+by default -- for CPUs running workloads with sensitivity value below
+40%, a lower frequency is chosen. Unloading the driver or writing 0
+will disable this feature.
