⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

okay so on BXT (that's Broxton, iykyk), you're supposed to trust the IRTL (Interrupt Response Time Limit) MSR to show you the definitive maximum latency — like, it's the source of truth, periodt — and then use that same value for target_residency. same value. one value. matching. that's the whole vibe. ✨
