This patch doesn't build:
Note that this patch has to be redone anyway, as it won't even build:

Argh, so the 'itmt' name really sucks as well - could we please make it
something
more obvious - like SCHED_INTEL_TURBO or so - and similarly rename the file as
well?
The sched_intel_turbo.c file could thus host all things related to scheduler
support of turbo frequencies - it shouldn't be named after the Intel acronym of
the day...
Thanks,
