Rafael, honestly speaking I didn't like this patch very much. We need
to fix a very specific problem with the intel-pstate driver when it is
used with powersave/performance governor to make sure the hard limits
are enforced. And this is something which no one else may face as
well.
What about doing something like this instead in the intel_pstate
driver only to get this fixed ?
if (!strcmp(policy->governor->name, "powersave") ||
!strcmp(policy->governor->name, "performance"))
hard-limit-to-be-enforced;
This would be a much simpler and contained approach IMHO.
