Anyway, since I'm not sure when I will get around to finishing up a
fully-detailed report.
Rafael, unless I'm missing something, recent is only ever cycled through
the bins and never actually reset to 0, is that missing somewhere?

Maybe like this if my suspicion is correct?
Haven't tested it yet.

[PATCH] cpuidle: teo: Reset recent when cycling bins

recent intercepts value was never actually reset, only
decremented. This patch resets the value when cycling
to a new recent intercept bin.
