I have been following these threads.
Recall that I was involved, over a period of months, in the original
"powernightmare" stuff.
I have revived my tests (and wish I had left myself better notes), and
am establishing a baseline before adding and trying this patch.
My baseline is actually two tests with and without the previous two patches (the ones
that were just sent a couple of days ago in "More power management updates for v4.19-rc1".
I might have those results in some presentable form by later today (it looks O.K.)
Results with this patch will take another couple of days.

... Doug
