em_fd_energy() below uses this to know which power to pick in the freq
table. So, if you have any RT task running on cpu freq will be at max
anyway. It seems to me that in this case max_util for the freq_domain
must be max_freq (w/o considering rt.util_avg as schedutil does). Then
you could probably still use rt.util_avg to get the percentage of busy
time with sum_util?
