No, it is mostly about exposing the critical and hot trips to the
governor code that may not be ready for seeing them and get somewhat
surprised.  In particular, this would cause the User Space governor to
send uevents regarding critical and hot trip points which it has not
been doing so far and so user space may get confused.
