For the distro kernel, kernel-lt and kernel-ml, respectively, what
does cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor return?

Highly unlikely and probably an invalid assumption!

I'll suggest that you take the configuration file for the distro
kernel, kernel-lt & kernel-ml and perform the following transformation
--

grep -v '^#' config-* | sort | uniq > sorted-config

Then perform a "sdiff" of each pair of sorted-config files.

If you discover an apparent defect in the configuration of either the
kernel-lt or kernel-ml packages, then please open an RFE at the ELRepo
bug tracker [1] and I will take it from there.

Alan.
