[CPUFREQ][6/6] cpufreq: Add idle microaccounting in ondemand governor
Use get_cpu_idle_time_us() to get micro-accounted idle information.
This enables ondemand to get more accurate idle and busy timings
than the jiffy based calculation. As a result, we can decrease
the ondemand safety gaurd band from 80-10 to 95-3.
Results in more aggressive power savings.
