When you are doing a locally-originated truly CPU-bound task, "race to idle"
does make some sense. But I can think of a couple of caveats.
1) If you care about power consumption, you want to avoid super-power-hungry
turbo states, as you get less done per watt-hour than in some of the middle

Thanks for the detailed response. I am heartened by the edge cases (true idle
and above up_threshold) remaining the same, that sounds like it should cover a
lot of ground well.

The "10" sounds like an attempt to add some hysteresis to the up/down

situations where you're continually switching rapidly between two frequencies.
