Right, that might be a problem. A proper solution I think would be to
remotely update such values for idle CPUs, and I believe Vincent is
working on a patch for that.

As mid-term workarounds, changing a bit the current one, come to my
mind:

- consider TICK_NSEC (continue) only when SCHED_CPUFREQ_DL is not set
- remove CFS contribution (without triggering a freq update) when a CPU
enters IDLE; this might not work well, though, as we probably want
to keep in blocked util contribution for a bit

What you think is the way to go?

Thanks,

- Juri
