Yes, that help. Thank you for the info.
I'll play a bit with this boosting and try to figure out
the mechanisms.

For the $subject patch set, I'm going to send v4, since
it's not affecting the boost usage. The newly introduced
interface must handle these boost frequency values and not
simply ignore them with also printing a warning.
They are valid frequencies and we should just put 0 to
the thermal pressure in such cases.

Regards,
Lukasz
