So there's still an open question; do we want that ->min thing to depend
on available frequencies _at_all_ ?

I'm thinking it might be a good thing to have the iowait boost curve be
independent of all that.

Like said; if we set it at 128 (static), it takes 9 consequtive wake-ups
for it to reach 1024 (max). While now the curve depends on how wide the
gap is between min_freq and max_freq. And it seems weird to have this
behaviour depend on that. To me at least.

Now, I don't know if 128/9 is the right curve, it is just a random
number I pulled out of a hat. But it seems to make more sense than
depending on frequencies.
