# Disable frequency boost by default. Use the intel_pstate driver instead of
# acpi_cpufreq driver because the acpi_cpufreq driver does not read the
# complete range of P-States [1]. Use the intel_pstate passive mode [2] to
# disable HWP, which allows a core to "select P-states by itself". Also, this
# disables intel governors, which confusingly, have the same names as the
# generic ones but behave differently [3].
# Essentially, we use the generic governors, but use the intel driver to read
# the P-state list.
