No, I don't.
The expected behaviour after this patch is to "force" max frequency few sampling periods earlier.
The idea was to increase system responsiveness especially on 'small' embedded systems (phones for example).

Actually, I thought to provide some numbers but I had no idea how to measure this.

Would it be enough to provide the number of times that the CPU increases frequency 
because of early_demand versus the total number of increments? 

Thanks,
Stratos
