    Do we expect anyone other than cpufreq_cooling to call
    arch_set_thermal_pressure()?

    I'm not against any of the options, either having it here as a week
    default definition (same as done for arch_set_freq_scale() in cpufreq.c)
    or in a common header (as done for arch_scale_freq_capacity() in sched.h).

    But for me, Valentin's implementation seems more natural as setters are
    usually only called from within the framework that does the control
    (throttling for thermal or frequency setting for cpufreq) and we
    probably want to think twice if we want to call them from other places.

    Thanks,
    Ionela.
