well need to qualify that.
it does not make sense to control the frequency the way we are doing,
because during idle the frequency is zero (as is the voltage).
ondemand logic has different assumptions.
we have been reworking a new governer like thing inside Intel, and are
close to publish it to lkml (and this list).
the problem always is that there are many workloads and one shouldn't
regress bla bla bla so this is needs a lot of data collection (which
takes time)
