Hmm, but "IPA" is still mentioned in exactly three places in the files
under drivers/thermal.  I think that warrants the use of "IPA", which
is also widely used pretty much everywhere.

Perhaps a win-win would be to have only the very first of the comments
like this, to introduce "IPA" as an acronym:

                                   /* Power allocator (IPA) thermal 
governor       */
                                   /* switch-on point, when IPA governor 
is used   */

Next, "the target temperature" is mentioned more than a few times in
drivers/thermal/gov_power_allocator.c, which I believe makes the use
of "IPA target" perfectly valid.  Actually, let's use "IPA target
temperature", if you agree, to make it self descriptive.

Finally, the threshold...  Based on 
drivers/thermal/gov_power_allocator.c,
I think "IPA switch-on point" would be a good choice, which I already
used above in the proposed opening comment.
