If that hasn't been clear enough so far, I'm still not convinced that using PM QoS for that is a good idea. First off, frequency as a unit of throughput is questionable to say the least, because it isn't portable from one system to another. Moreover, even on a given system it isn't particularly clear what the exact correspondence between frequency and throughput actually is. Second, it's not particularly clear what the meaning of the "min" frequency is supposed to be in terms of throughput. Moreover, you make cpufreq export user_policy.min and user_policy.max regardless of the new PM QoS parameters, so it looks like you could use those new attributes to set the min/max as well.
