We kick off that work when we get an interrupt from the GPU requesting
a frequency increase or decrease.
We could reduce the frequency of the interrupt (or get rid of it
entirely) a couple of different ways:
- adjust the thresholds and/or evaluation intervals to make freq
changes less frequent (and thus less responsive to changes in load)
- make the changes sloppy and batch them up (effectively the same
thing as above but in sw, and we'd still take the interrupts)
- use a polling scheme to evaluate busyness, and adjust the freq at a
fixed rate at specific times, maybe using a 60Hz timer or something
while the GPU is busy
