function name scaling
(1) arch_scale_cpu_capacity() - uarch
(2) get_actual_cpu_capacity() - hw + cpufreq/thermal of (1)
(3) capacity_of() - rt (rt/dl/irq) of (2) (used by fair)
Although (1) - (3) are very close to each other from the functional
standpoint, their names are not very coherent.
I assume this makes it hard to understand all of this when reading the
code w/o knowing these patches before.
Why is (2) tagged with 'actual'?
This is especially visible in feec() where local variable cpu_cap
relates to (3) whereas cpu_actual_cap related to (2).
