If it's going to be a different aggregation from what's done for
frequency guidance, I don't see the point of having this inside
schedutil. Why not keep it inside the scheduler files? Also, it seems
weird to use a governor's code when it might not actually be in use.
What if someone is using ondemand, conservative, performance, etc?

Instead of all this indentation, can't you just return early without
doing the code inside the if?

Please don't use lower case for enums. It's extremely confusing.

Thanks,
