42 * the processor. Default polling frequency is 1000 times the transition
43 * latency of the processor. The governor will work on any processor with
44 * transition latency <= 10mS, using appropriate sampling
46 * For CPUs with transition latency > 10mS (mostly drivers
47 * with CPUFREQ_ETERNAL), this governor will not work.
48 * All times here are in uS.
