Hi Viresh,

Since the driver now queries the device for frequency info, the
interface allows for the VMM(Virtual Machine Manager) to optionally
use tables depending on the use case. Target is used in the driver to
support both configurations where either the table is used or if only
max_perf is used(where the guest can vote from [1-max_perf]).

Thanks,
David
