    Features
    - ondemand governor patched with my latest patches
    - conservative governor added
    - built with Linaro gcc 4.9 201602
    - enabled O2 optimizations
    - clear a couple of configuration

    0.9.0 (09/12/2016)
    - Rebase on Android 7.1.1 sources
    - cpufreq: conservative: Fix condition logic in touch boost (thanks to ihancioglu)

    0.8.0 (09/11/2016)
    - Merge latest patches from NRD91N

    0.7.0 (26/10/2016)
    - cpufreq: conservative: Decrease frequency faster when the timer deferred
    - mm: remove gup_flags FOLL_WRITE games from __get_user_pages() (dirty COW vulnerability)
    - Change default governor to conservative for big cluster

    0.6.0 (17/10/2016)
    - Rebased on 3.10.73 (NBD90W). I discovered a memory leak issue and I decided to drop the latests Linux kernel versions.
    - Changed default governor to ondemand for both clusters. Conservative governor also has an issue and in some cases doesn't drop the frequency fast enough. I recommend you to not use it until I'll find a solution.
    - ondemand: Improved the load calculation when the timer is deferred.
    - ondemand: A couple of bug fixes from mainline.

    0.5.0 (05/10/2016)
    - cpufreq: Introduce touch boost tunables to ondemand and conservative
    ondemand:
    touch_load: the virtual load that governor "sees" when there is a touch in the screen (default value 70).
    touch_load_duration: the duration in ms that the touch_load is effective after the touch (default value 1000ms).
    touch_load_threshold: the real load threshold. Loads greater than this threshold will trigger the touch boost (default value 10).
    conservative:
    touch_load_duration: the duration of touch boost (default value 1000ms). When there is a touch in the screen the freq_step tunable will be double if there governor must increase the frequency.
    - minor changes in initramfs from upstream (NBD90W)

    0.4.0 (27/09/2016)
    - cpufreq: ondemand: Eliminate the deadband effect
    - cpufreq: Break out early when frequency equals target_freq
    - Added conservative governor

    0.3.0 (07/09/2016)
    - Merge Android Nougat kernel patches (up to NRD90S)
    - Merge Linux kernel v3.10.103
    - Mount data partition as encryptable

    0.2.0 (11/08/2016)
    - Merge Linux kernel versions v3.10.74 - v3.10.102
    - Apply patch for CVE-2016-5340 (CodeAurora)

    0.1.0 (08/08/2016)
    - Initial release
    - built with Linaro gcc 4.9 201602
    - enabled O2 optimizations
    - clear a couple of configuration
