+ * Concepts and ideas behind the menu governor
+ *
+ * For the menu governor, there are 3 decision factors for picking a C
+ * state:
+ * 1) Energy break even point
+ * 2) Performance impact
+ * 3) Latency tolerance (from pmqos infrastructure)
+ * These these three factors are treated independently.
+ *
+ * Energy break even point
+ * -----------------------
+ * C state entry and exit have an energy cost, and a certain amount of time in
+ * the  C state is required to actually break even on this cost. CPUIDLE
+ * provides us this duration in the "target_residency" field. So all that we
+ * need is a good prediction of how long we'll be idle. Like the traditional
+ * menu governor, we start with the actual known "next timer event" time.
+ *
+ * Since there are other source of wakeups (interrupts for example) than
+ * the next timer event, this estimation is rather optimistic. To get a
+ * more realistic estimate, a correction factor is applied to the estimate,
+ * that is based on historic behavior. For example, if in the past the actual
+ * duration always was 50% of the next timer tick, the correction factor will
+ * be 0.5.
+ *
+ * menu uses a running average for this correction factor, however it uses a
+ * set of factors, not just a single factor. This stems from the realization
+ * that the ratio is dependent on the order of magnitude of the expected
+ * duration; if we expect 500 milliseconds of idle time the likelihood of
+ * getting an interrupt very early is much higher than if we expect 50 micro
+ * seconds of idle time. A second independent factor that has big impact on
+ * the actual factor is if there is (disk) IO outstanding or not.
+ * (as a special twist, we consider every sleep longer than 50 milliseconds
+ * as perfect; there are no power gains for sleeping longer than this)
+ *
+ * For these two reasons we keep an array of 12 independent factors, that gets
+ * indexed based on the magnitude of the expected duration as well as the
+ * "is IO outstanding" property.
+ *
+ * Limiting Performance Impact
+ * ---------------------------
+ * C states, especially those with large exit latencies, can have a real
+ * noticable impact on workloads, which is not acceptable for most sysadmins,
+ * and in addition, less performance has a power price of its own.
+ *
+ * As a general rule of thumb, menu assumes that the following heuristic
+ * holds:
+ *     The busier the system, the less impact of C states is acceptable
+ *
+ * This rule-of-thumb is implemented using a performance-multiplier:
+ * If the exit latency times the performance multiplier is longer than
+ * the predicted duration, the C state is not considered a candidate
+ * for selection due to a too high performance impact. So the higher
+ * this multiplier is, the longer we need to be idle to pick a deep C
+ * state, and thus the less likely a busy CPU will hit such a deep
+ * C state.
+ *
+ * Two factors are used in determing this multiplier:
+ * a value of 10 is added for each point of "per cpu load average" we have.
+ * a value of 5 points is added for each process that is waiting for
+ * IO on this CPU.
+ * (these values are experimentally determined)
+ *
+ * The load average factor gives a longer term (few seconds) input to the
+ * decision, while the iowait value gives a cpu local instantanious input.
+ * The iowait factor may look low, but realize that this is also already
+ * represented in the system load average.
