From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wyso...@intel.com>
The "IOwait boosting" mechanism is only used by the
get_target_pstate_use_cpu_load() governor function and the
boost_iowait flag in pid_params is always set when that function
is in use (and it is never set otherwise). This means that the
boost_iowait flag is in fact redundant and may be dropped.
For this reason, replace the boost_iowait flag check in
intel_pstate_update_util() with an equivalent check against
pstate_funcs.get_target_pstate and drop that flag.
