Well, if you want to compile your kernel then power off, you want to
go to 100%, too; that is very similar situation.
Plus I believe limiting to 80% will not save you any power, anyway (on
recent CPUs with effective idle modes). I'd say just don't do
it. Kernel ondemand governor should do just fine.
