Agreed. It's enabled, not just available. The throttling happens in
*reaction* to certain events. If the throttling was available but not
enabled, then throttling would not happen in reaction to those events.
The fact that it is a reactive feature does not mean it's not enabled
when not active. Active of course means that the CPUs are currently
being throttled (ie the act of throttling).
