Description Andreas Kleen 2005-10-11 13:05:55 UTC 
We often have systems that have buggy BIOS etc. and break with
cpu frequency scaling. Currently it is a bit complicated
for the user to disable it (chkconfig powersaved off in a booted) 
That could be done more straight forward.

I would propose: 

- Check /proc/cmdline in the powersaved init script for a new argument
(e.g. nocpufreq) and don't do anything if it's set.
- Add that argument to the failsafe defaults

POWERSAVE=off at the kernel commandline takes care of this.
