I didn't know listing multiple frequencies in a opp was allowed. We can
probably get away with it here since we just parse the data here and not
populate data in the opp core.

When a monitor is marked compute-mon it means that the table is
followed religiously irrespective whether the instruction per miss
count threshold (ipm) is exceeded or not. Equivalent to having
a cpufreq map -> l3/DDR bw mapping upstream.

Ack

Thanks again for reviewing the series. :)
