Yes, right. No problem. ;-)

Good to know this, I didn't have a chance to give a check. May I know how
did you test this latency? But MSR is new hardware design for this
solution, as designer mentioned, the WRMSR is low-latency register model is
faster than ACPI AML code interpreter.

I will give a check. If you have a existing test method that can be used, I
can check it quickly.

Because fast_switch can adjust the frequency directly in the interrupt
context, if we use the acpi cppc handling with shared memory solution, it
will have a deadlock. So fast switch needs the control with registers
directly like acpi-cpufreq and intel-pstate.

Similar with ITMT. :-)

Thanks again for detailed example, I will update to this approach at V2.
