It's valuable even just for cpufreq sanity checking - we have that test
that goes through increasing frequencies and asserts the work done is
monotonically increasing. This has been quite useful in the past to detect
broken bits.

That *should* still be totally doable with any other governor by using the
scaling_{min, max}_freq sysfs interface.
