When turbo is disabled, the set_policy interface is broken.
For example, when turbo is disabled and
cpuinfo.max = 2900000 (full max turbo frequency)
Setting the limits results in frequency less than settings:
Set 1000000 KHz results in 0700000 KHz
Set 1500000 KHz results in 1100000 KHz
Set 2000000 KHz results in 1500000 KHz
This is because limits->max_perf fraction is calculated using max
turbo frequency as the reference, but when the max P-State is
capped in the function intel_pstate_get_min_max, the reference
is not the max turbo P-State. This results in reducing max
P-State.
One option is to always use max turbo as reference for calculating
limits. But this will not be correct. By definition the intel_pstate
sysfs limits, shows percentage of available performance. So when
BIOS has disabled turbo, the available performance is max non turbo.
So the max_perf_pct should still show 100%.
