[PATCH 27/70] cpufreq: interactive: change speed according to current speed and target load

[BÃlint Czobor]

From: Todd Poynor <toddpoynor@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add a target_load attribute that specifies how aggressively the governor is
to adjust speed to meet the observed load.  New target speed is calculated
as the current actual speed (may be higher than target speed on SMP) times
the CPU load (as a fraction) divided by target load (fraction).

cpufreq_frequency_table_target() call use CPUFREQ_RELATION_L to set
the next higher speed rather than next lower speed.
