above_hispeed_delay: When speed is at or above hispeed_freq, wait for
this long before raising speed in response to continued high load.
-Default is 20000 uS.
+The format is a single delay value, optionally followed by pairs of
+CPU speeds and the delay to use at or above those speeds. Colons can
+be used between the speeds and associated delays for readability. For
+example:
+
+ 80000 1300000:200000 1500000:40000
+
+uses delay 80000 uS until CPU speed 1.3 GHz, at which speed delay
+200000 uS is used until speed 1.5 GHz, at which speed (and above)
+delay 40000 uS is used. If speeds are specified these must appear in
+ascending order. Default is 20000 uS.
timer_rate: Sample rate for reevaluating CPU load when the CPU is not
idle. A deferrable timer is used, such that the CPU will not be woken
