From: Pierre Gondois <Pierre.Gondois at arm.com>
The Energy Model (EM) can be used on platforms which are missing real
power information. Those platforms would implement .get_cost() which
populates needed values for the Energy Aware Scheduler (EAS). The EAS
doesn't use 'power' fields from EM, but other frameworks might use them.
Thus, to avoid miss-usage of this specific type of EM, introduce a new
flags which can be checked by other frameworks.
