So in the last thread there was some discussion about this; in
particular on how this related to schedutil and if we should tie it into
that.

I think for starters tying it to schedutil is not a bad idea; ideally
people _should_ migrate towards using that.

Also; I think it makes sense to better integrate cpufreq and the
energy-model values like what rjw already suggested, such that maybe we
can have cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq() return a structure containing the
relevant information for the selected frequency.

But implementing the frequency selection thing in multiple places like
now sounds like a very bad idea to me.
