This patch introduces a simple 'weight' based
governor named fair_share governor. Whenever the
thermal framework gets notified of the trip point
violation, this governor (if configured), throttles
the cooling devices associated with a thermal zone.
This mapping between a thermal zone and a cooling device
and the effectiveness of cooling are provided in the
platform layer.
