What is powerhal? I'm trying out slimrom for the first time and would like to know what is different from the kernel you implemented on to slim than the one that is the stand alone kernel.
PowerHAL is a ROM-side hw power control library. Faux added communication in there to let intelliplug know when we go into low power mode (intelliplug will then go dual-core) or on the orther hand it will power up cores when video recording or HDR pics are taking.
Default kernel in SlimLP (my builds as well !!) for Nexus 6 is leankernel, so just check out imoseyon's thread on xda, and compare to my changelog.
In short, both kernels are pretty different :
- imoseyon prefers to keep CPU management stock but upstreams Linux version and merges CAF updates etc.
- I prefer to keep the kernel stock but rather add features (like my CPU hardlimit, intellithermal, intelliplug etc.)
But we also share stuff like the color calibration etc.
Not saying anyone of them is better or worse, it's a different approach. And imoseyon's kernels are most definately excellent !

PS: 5.1 will come when Slimp 5.1 will be ready, the kernel is ready, but I need the ramfs to go with it for the boot.img.
