Right, so we might need to track a !idle avg over the thermal domain to
guestimate the head-room and inter-cpu relations.
mostly the thermal domain will be the cpu half of the SOC if not the whole SOC,
in the mobile space.
For big servers, sure.
But why count idle average when most chips have thermal sensors built in?
(needed for the same thermal limiting reasons)
