Same here.

My graphs now include the "above" and "below" metrics.
In particular see Idle State 1 "above" (was too deep) graphs in the links below.
However, performance is up and power about the same, so O.K.

I cherry picked a couple of the mmtests that Giovanni was doing:
Test kernels:
"stock" kernel 4.20-rc5 + a couple of rjw patches. Specifically:
2a110ed cpuidle: poll_state: Disregard disable idle states
8f09875 cpuidle: Add 'above' and 'below' idle state metrics
d6851a5 Documentation: admin-guide: PM: Add cpuidle document
2595646 Linux 4.20-rc5
"teov6" above + teov6 patch
"teov7" above + teov7 patch
"teov8" above + teov8 patch

I wanted to also do the tbench on loopback test, but have not been able to get
it working on my system yet.
I'll supply more test results at a later date.
