    We now have HWP-passive supported, afaict. So we should discourage that.

    That is; I'll care less and less about people not using schedutil as

    Why not? cpufreq-cooling should still be able to throttle the system by
    setting HWP.Highest_Performance no?

    In which case it still needs an energy estimate.
