We generally call those a "callback" or a "handler". I.e.,
od_register_powersave_bias_handler or something.

This is very confusing: we have ->powersave_bias_target and the default
powersave_bias_target in the ondemand governor. Can we call the default
one generic_powersave_bias_target or default_* or whatever.
