+         as described in the ACPIv5.1 spec. CPPC stands for
+         Collaborative Processor Performance Controls. It
+         is based on an abstract continuous scale of CPU
+         performance values which allows the remote power
+         processor to flexibly optimize for power and
+         performance. CPPC relies on power management firmware
+         support for its operation.
