ondemand works based on priorities, not idliness. For example, in my debian 
testing, my regular desktop apps have a priority of 23, so ondemand not always 
rises the speed as I would like. Other example is when you go to lunch, you 
usually just lock your screen, but how many really lower power consumption? 
yeah,  it's a stupid scenario, but is the one I'm interested (or when I go to 
sleep without shuting down the computer and forget to chance power policy).

And, the idea is that cpufreq module changes the freq (something it already 
does), not to rewrite a new power policy.
