+Description: Autonomous activity window
+
+ This file indicates a moving utilization sensitivity window to
+ the platform's autonomous selection policy.
+
+ Read/write an integer represents autonomous activity window (in
+ microseconds) from/to this file. The max value to write is
+ 1270000000 but the max significand is 127. This means that if 128
+ is written to this file, 127 will be stored. If the value is
+ greater than 130, only the first two digits will be saved as
+ significand.
+
+ Writing a zero value to this file enable the platform to
+ determine an appropriate Activity Window depending on the workload.
+
+ Writing to this file only has meaning when Autonomous Selection is
+ enabled.
