 How do we set the cpu governor?

+We want a fennel thing that reads a filesystem tree into a nested
+table. And a thing to diff two tables

+
+Subscribers to odhcp6c outputs need to be able to tell which addresses
+are new and which have been removed since the last run, which now we
+have ohdcp-script  producing parsed data means they need to compare
+tables by value. Which is a faff.
+
+What if the directory name were a hash of all the relevant fields
+such that clients could just say "new directory, must be new address"
+
+We can have literal prefix, then need to encode
+length,preferred,valid,extra space-efficiently. I cannot currently see
+any way to use whatever hashing Lua uses for its table lookups,
+which is a bit disapppointing, so we might have to make our own

+this is DJBHash, though doesn't appear to deal with integer overflow
+
+
+function hash(str)
+    h = 5381;
+
+    for c in str:gmatch"." do
+        h = ((h << 5) + h) + string.byte(c)
+    end
+    return h
+end

+acquire-lan/wan-foo have no tests, and the test setup is a bit of a
+faff as they are both waiting on the filesystem
+
+also, testing lua scripts is a faff without splitting them into
+script/module
+
+am wondering if we could do some kind of convention that we only write
+modules not scripts but something in the fennel->lua can call the
+module's `run` method.
