Per https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#describe-your-changes
start with a problem description, then followed by the description of
the technical solution.

Why did you choose to describe your problem in the portion that isn't
going to make it into the git history?

Perhaps worth trying to reduce the "story telling" nature of this, but
please do incorporate some of these things into the main commit message
- so that we capture it for future readers of the git log.


It would also be useful for that future reader to know that once there
exist an implementation (i.e. when Linux supports it) that actually do
manage load votes and there is power savings that can be shown, this
should be introduced again.

It's okay to add this with a Link: tag.
