An operating point does not have to revolve around the voltage, nor should it.
Fill out the following.
* A sysadmin wants to set the CPU voltage to 1.5V because _________________
* A user wants to set the CPU voltage to 1.5V because _________________
* An application wants to dynamically set the voltage rather than the
frequency because ______________________

Try again. It's completely the wrong knob to be turning.
