    Subject[PATCH 0/2] cpufreq: Specify the default governor on command line
    From
    This series enables users of prebuilt kernels (e.g. distro kernels) to
    specify their CPUfreq governor of choice using the kernel command line,
    instead of having to wait for the system to fully boot to userspace to
    switch using the sysfs interface. This is helpful for 2 reasons:
    1. users get to choose the governor that runs during the actual boot;
    2. it simplifies the userspace boot procedure a bit (one less thing to
    worry about).

    To enable this, the first patch moves all governor init calls to
    core_initcall, to make sure they are registered by the time the drivers
    probe. This should be relatively low impact as registering a governor
    is a simple procedure (it gets added to a llist), and all governors
    already load at core_initcall anyway when they're set as the default
    in Kconfig. This also allows to clean-up the governors' init/exit code,
    and reduces boilerplate.

    The second patch introduces the new command line parameter, inspired by
    its cpuidle counterpart. More details can be found in the respective
    patch headers.

    Feedback is very much welcome :-)

    Thanks,
    Quentin
