    Subject[PATCH] cpufreq: ondemand: Introduces stepped frequency increase
    Date
    The patch introduces a new sysfs tunable cpufreq/ondemand/freq_step,
    as found in conservative governor, to chose the frequency increase step,
    expressed as percentage (default = 100 is previous behaviour).

    This allows fine tuning powersaving on mobile CPUs, since smaller steps will allow to:
    * absorb punctual load spikes
    * stabilize at the needed frequency, without passing for more power consuming states, and
