Ryuo, maybe it's Off Topic sorry in advance, is it possible you add 2 subpackages ? It's for the kernel tools: cpupower and perf. You can find more details here http://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/linux-tools/ Cpupower will replace my 'cpufrequtils' package, Arch already provide a systemd service file and a conf file.
