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