Depending on the transition latency of the HW for cpufreq switches, the ondemand or conservative governor cannot be used with certain cpufreq drivers. Still the ondemand should be the default governor on a wide range of systems. This patch allows this and lets the governor fallback to the performance governor at cpufreq driver load time, if the driver does not support fast enough frequency switching. Main benefit is that on e.g. installation or other systems without userspace support a working dynamic cpufreq support can be achieved on most systems by simply loading the cpufreq driver. This is especially essential for recent x86(_64) laptop hardware which may rely on working dynamic cpufreq OS support.

help

|
CPU Frequency scaling allows you to change the clock speed of
|
|
CPUs on the fly. This is a nice method to save power, because
|
|
the lower the CPU clock speed, the less power the CPU consumes.
|
|
|
|
Note that this driver doesn't automatically change the CPU
|
|
clock speed, you need to either enable a dynamic cpufreq governor
|
|
(see below) after boot, or use a userspace tool.

'conservative' - this driver is rather similar to the 'ondemand'
|
|
governor both in its source code and its purpose, the difference is
|
|
its optimisation for better suitability in a battery powered
|
|
environment. The frequency is gracefully increased and decreased
|
|
rather than jumping to 100% when speed is required.
|
|
|
|
If you have a desktop machine then you should really be considering
|
|
the 'ondemand' governor instead, however if you are using a laptop,
|
|
PDA or even an AMD64 based computer (due to the unacceptable
|
|
step-by-step latency issues between the minimum and maximum frequency
|
|
transitions in the CPU) you will probably want to use this governor.
