Add a Documentation/ABI entry for
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct,
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct, and
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo.

+               limits for the P-state that will be requested by the
+               driver.
+
+               max_perf_pct: limits the maximum P state that will be requested by
+               the driver stated as a percentage of the available performance.
+
+               min_perf_pct: limits the minimum P state that will be requested by
+               the driver stated as a percentage of the available performance.
+
+               no_turbo: limits the driver to selecting P states below the turbo
+               frequency range.
