Agreed. Once we have all the thermal and cpufreq bits in place, I'd
like to examine optimisations such as a virtual sensor, using the
coefficients to add weights, etc.

I'm working on irq support for tsens that should alleviate that.

As Matthias mentioned, DVFS is per cluster (4 cpus to a cluster).
