Subject: [PATCH][RFC 1/2] Implement Ziegler-Nichols Heuristic
Implement the Ziegler-Nichols Heuristic algorithm to better
estimate the PID Coefficients for a running platform.
The values are tuned to minimuse the amount of overshoot in
the temperature of the platform and subsequently minimise
the number of switches for cdev states.
