cannot be requested to run slower than its own per-policy minimum). The
effective performance depends on whether the platform supports per core
P-states, hyper-threading is enabled and on current performance requests
from other CPUs. When platform doesn't support per core P-states, the
effective performance can be more than the policy limits set on a CPU, if
other CPUs are requesting higher performance at that moment. Even with per
core P-states support, when hyper-threading is enabled, if the sibling CPU
is requesting higher performance, the other siblings will get higher
performance than their policy limits.
3. The global and per-policy limits can be set independently.
