I.e. that thermal (e.g. IPA governor) switches from average
(rq->avg_(thermal/hw).load_avg) (1) to instantenous (cpu_pressure) (2).
I rememeber a related dicussion during LPC 2018 :-)

So 'drivers/cpufreq/qcom-cpufreq-hw.c' is the only user of (1) right
now. Are we expecting more users here? If this stays the only user,
maybe it can do the averages by itself and we can completely switch to (2)?
