This allows detecting when spending extra power for faster frequency ramp up response would be beneficial to the reactivity of the system. This ramp boost is computed as the difference between util_avg and util_est_enqueued. This number somehow represents a lower bound of how much extra utilization this tasks is actually using, compared to our best current stable knowledge of it (which is util_est_enqueued). When the set of runnable tasks changes, the boost is disabled as the impact of blocked utilization on util_avg will make the delta with util_est_enqueued not very informative.
