Hello. Maybe I'm too late on this, but I have some concerns.

I just want to bring up the fact that this change affects all governors. It sounds good for the performance governor, but not so much for the powersave governor.

So the question is: don't we want the lowest power consumption possible in the powersave mode? Even if it means decreased efficiency. Powersave by definition supposed to make battery last as long as possible no matter what, isn't it?
