I've just tested your patch.  Responsiveness from idle is definitely
improved.  I was running a polling frequency of 100 with the old powerd to
get good responsiveness out of it, but it's not needed with this.  Especially
on my notebook with 16 frequencies...

Hiadaptive makes things even faster, but it's a bit heavy for notebook use. 
I'm running hiadaptive on my workstation for now.

Thanks for your work!
