To me, the word "global" is not the best one to express that.
"Common" would probably be better.  Or "generic" or similar.

It's just that these tunables apply to both governors (or "all"
governors if you will) as opposed to some other ones specific to a
particular governor type.

So I'd suggest replacing "global" with "common" in the patch in the
names of the macros too.

Thanks,
Rafael
