+2.3 Energy-aware scheduling
+------------------------
+
+ When cpufreq's schedutil governor is selected, SCHED_DEADLINE implements the
+ GRUB-PA [19] algorithm, reducing the CPU operating frequency to the minimum
+ value that still allows to meet the deadlines. This behavior is currently
+ implemented only for ARM architectures.
+
+ A particular care must be taken in case the time needed for changing frequency
+ is of the same order of magnitude of the reservation period. In such cases,
+ setting a fixed CPU frequency results in a lower amount of deadline misses.
