Right.

There isn't a lot happening in this routine right now TBH and am not
sure if it is really worth it to have a separate routine for this
(unless we can get rid of something for all the callers, like avoiding
a call to arch_scale_cpu_capacity() and then naming it
effective_cpu_load().

I am not sure what you are suggesting here. What will be the value of
max if not arch_scale_cpu_capacity() ?
