[PATCH v2 0/3] sched, arch_topology: Thermal pressure configuration cleanup

Hi folks,

This stems from this thread [1] on the list. TL;DR: the thermal pressure config
has no helpful documentation, and figuring out if the right dependencies are in
place is not easy for a regular user. 

The current landscape also paints an odd picture: arch_set_thermal_pressure() is
hardcoded in sched/core.c, and is *not* architecture-definable, while
arch_get_thermal_pressure() is. Patch 1 is tackling this, the rest is Kconfig
stuff.

Cheers,
Valentin
