I can't see it being suitable for consumption by other governors for example as it is not generic enough. And the headroom definition needs to evolve. And the tight coupling to util which is a scheduler internal metric will make it hard once it's part of cpufreq. The headroom IMO is a property of the governor. We can defer the moving for now if you insist. But I think it's inevitable? > > > > appropriately to give a headroom to grow. This is more of a scheduler > > functionality than cpufreq.

We are providing headroom for the utilization to grow until the next decision point to pick the next frequency. Give the function a better name and give it some documentation. It is not really mapping anything. Also move it to sched.h. This function relies on updating util signal appropriately to give a headroom to grow. This is more of a scheduler functionality than cpufreq. Move it to sched.h where all the other util handling code belongs.
