The branch ratio algorithm in the vm_power_manager sample application
can be very sensitive at patricular loads in a workload, causing
oscillations between min and max frequency. For example, if a
workload is at 50%, scaling up may change the ratio
enough that it immediately thinks it needs to scale down again.
This patch introduces a sliding window recording the scale up/down
direction for the last 32 samples, and scales up if any samples indicate
we should scale up, otherwise scale down. Each core has it's own window.
