    cpufreq: intel_pstate: Rework iowait boosting to be less aggressive · b8bd1581
    Rafael J. Wysocki authored
    The current iowait boosting mechanism in intel_pstate_update_util()
    is quite aggressive, as it goes to the maximum P-state right away,
    and may cause excessive amounts of energy to be used, which is not
    desirable and arguably isn't necessary too.
    
    Follow commit a5a0809b ("cpufreq: schedutil: Make iowait boost
    more energy efficient") that reworked the analogous iowait boost
    mechanism in the schedutil governor and make the iowait boosting
    in intel_pstate_update_util() work along the same lines.
