+Description: Intel Energy and Performance Bias Hint (EPB)
+
+ EPB for the given CPU in a sliding scale 0 - 15, where a value
+ of 0 corresponds to a hint preference for highest performance
+ and a value of 15 corresponds to the maximum energy savings.
+
+ In order to change the EPB value for the CPU, write either
+ a number in the 0 - 15 sliding scale above, or one of the
+ strings: "performance", "balance-performance", "normal",
+ "balance-power", "power" (that represent values reflected by
+ their meaning), to this attribute.
+
+ This attribute is present for all online CPUs supporting the
+ Intel EPB feature.
