[CPUFREQ][4/6] cpufreq_ondemand: Parameterize down differential
Use a parameter for down differential, instead of hardcoded 10%. Follow-on patch changes the down-differential dynamically, based on whether we are using idle micro-accounting or not. Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>
