How about complement the following description:
```
Otherwise, later when introducing new sub-hypercall
to propagate CPPC data in commit "xen/x86: introduce new sub-hypercall to
propagate CPPC data", we need to pass irrelevant px-specific
"struct xen_processor_perf" in set_cppc_pminfo() to just set init flag.
```
