Please give me a few more hours.
I'll reply to another thread with new information at that time.
My recommendation will be to scrap this "patch2" and go back
to "patch1" [1], with a couple of modifications. The logic
of patch1 is sound.
Teaser: it is working for intel_cpufreq/schedutil, but I
have yet to test acpi-cpufreq/schedutil.
