Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] sched: Make iowait_boost optional in schedutil
We should apply the iowait boost only if cpufreq policy has iowait boost
enabled. Also make it a schedutil configuration from sysfs so it can be turned
on/off if needed (by default initialize it to the policy value).
For systems that don't need/want it enabled, such as those on arm64 based
mobile devices that are battery operated, it saves energy when the cpufreq
driver policy doesn't have it enabled (details below):
Here are some results for energy measurements collected running a YouTube video
for 30 seconds:
Before: 8.042533 mWh
After: 7.948377 mWh
Energy savings is ~1.2%
