SubjectRe: [PATCH v3 linux-next] cpufreq: ondemand: Calculate gradient of CPU load to early increase frequency

I suspect it because we are increasing freq based on the assumption:
"If increase in load from last calculation is more then threshold, then
we must use high freq"..

So, this rise can be false alarm multiple times and we might not see
a load increase after moving to high freq and so we are running at
high/max freq without any need of it. And so more power.
