I tried V2 on my Intel i5-10600K, but there was little difference when
compared to V1 in terms of enormous increase in processor power
consumption for the periodic type tests I ran. However, sometimes the
power use would drop down to comparable to the normal teo or menu
governors for a short time, which V1 didn't do.

I would suggest a completely new governor for your
only 2 idle states, and of similar power use, scenario.
Incredibly simple:

If CPU utilization >= threshold
  select idle state 0
Else
  Select idle state 1
Endif

As previously mentioned, you are overriding
everything that teo does anyhow.

Note to other readers: I also sent Kajetan an off-list email with more
tests descriptions and web links to results graphs and such.
