Thanks for adapting a lot of my feedback, this looks much better to me.

I was thinking about this some more, do you actually want another mode that "disables"
this feature?   IE "O" turns it off an calls DYTC_DISABLE_CQL.

For example if a user wanted to test the recently landed code in thermald 2.3
and compare performance between the two it seems like this and that "might" fight.
As an outsider looking in - I of course may be wrong too here.

If at some point in the future thermald does a better job than this implementation you
might also want an "out" to let thermald or another piece of userland turn this off
if it's in the picture.
