Governors monitoring warming devices need to have support for 
hysteresis. Assume a case where the device is in idle when the 
temperature goes below threshold and we trigger a mitigation. Even a 
minimal workload or even the processing of the threshold by the governor 
could warm the device and put the temperature above the threshold and we 
will have to remove any mitigation. To avoid this ping-pong, its best to 
add a hysteresis support.
