I have one request. CPU throttling is already a very well established term in the x86 world, refering to thermal throttling when the CPU overheats. This is implemented by ACPI and the CPU. It's always a very bad thing that should be avoided at all costs.
You seem to use it for something else. Can you please use a different term for that? Reusing the same word for something else is confusing.
Thanks,
