+==========
+
+Android (www.android.com) is an open source operating system for mobile devices.
+This document describes configurations needed to run the Android framework on
+top of the Linux kernel.
+
+To see a working defconfig look at msm_defconfig or goldfish_defconfig
+which can be found at http://android.git.kernel.org in kernel/common.git
+and kernel/msm.git
+
+
+1.1 Required enabled config options
+-----------------------------------
+After building a standard defconfig, ensure that these options are enabled in
+your .config or defconfig if they are not already. Based off the msm_defconfig.
+You should keep the rest of the default options enabled in the defconfig
+unless you know what you are doing.

 default value of '20' it means that if the CPU usage needs to be below
 20% between samples to have the frequency decreased.
 
+
+2.6 Interactive
+---------------
+
+The CPUfreq governor "interactive" is designed for latency-sensitive,
+interactive workloads. This governor sets the CPU speed depending on
+usage, similar to "ondemand" and "conservative" governors.  However,
+the governor is more aggressive about scaling the CPU speed up in
+response to CPU-intensive activity.
+
+Sampling the CPU load every X ms can lead to under-powering the CPU
+for X ms, leading to dropped frames, stuttering UI, etc.  Instead of
+sampling the cpu at a specified rate, the interactive governor will
+check whether to scale the cpu frequency up soon after coming out of
+idle.  When the cpu comes out of idle, a timer is configured to fire
+within 1-2 ticks.  If the cpu is very busy between exiting idle and
+when the timer fires then we assume the cpu is underpowered and ramp
+to MAX speed.
+
+If the cpu was not sufficiently busy to immediately ramp to MAX speed,
+then governor evaluates the cpu load since the last speed adjustment,
+choosing the highest value between that longer-term load or the
+short-term load since idle exit to determine the cpu speed to ramp to.
+
+The tuneable values for this governor are:
+
+min_sample_time: The minimum amount of time to spend at the current
+frequency before ramping down. This is to ensure that the governor has
+seen enough historic cpu load data to determine the appropriate
+workload.  Default is 80000 uS.
+
+hispeed_freq: An intermediate "hi speed" at which to initially ramp
+when CPU load hits the value specified in go_hispeed_load.  If load
+stays high for the amount of time specified in above_hispeed_delay,
+then speed may be bumped higher.  Default is maximum speed.
+
+go_hispeed_load: The CPU load at which to ramp to the intermediate "hi
+speed".  Default is 85%.
+
+above_hispeed_delay: Once speed is set to hispeed_freq, wait for this
+long before bumping speed higher in response to continued high load.
+Default is 20000 uS.
+
+timer_rate: Sample rate for reevaluating cpu load when the system is
+not idle.  Default is 20000 uS.
+
+input_boost: If non-zero, boost speed of all CPUs to hispeed_freq on
+touchscreen activity.  Default is 0.
+
+boost: If non-zero, immediately boost speed of all CPUs to at least
+hispeed_freq until zero is written to this attribute.  If zero, allow
+CPU speeds to drop below hispeed_freq according to load as usual.
+
+boostpulse: Immediately boost speed of all CPUs to hispeed_freq for
+min_sample_time, after which speeds are allowed to drop below
+hispeed_freq according to load as usual.
