Subject: xen/cpufreq: Disable the cpu frequency scaling drivers from loading.
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.39-400.9.0~543^2~24
X-Git-Url: https://www.infradead.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c9fbff1bc16967837069440fffa01f30a549e529;p=users%2Fjedix%2Flinux-maple.git

xen/cpufreq: Disable the cpu frequency scaling drivers from loading.

By using the functionality provided by "[CPUFREQ]: provide
disable_cpuidle() function to disable the API."

Under the Xen hypervisor we do not want the initial domain to exercise
the cpufreq scaling drivers. This is b/c the Xen hypervisor is
in charge of doing this as well and we can end up with both the
Linux kernel and the hypervisor trying to change the P-states
leading to weird performance issues.
