Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2012 19:18:40 -0400 From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@...cle.com> To: davej@...hat.com, cpufreq@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, JBeulich@...e.com Cc: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@...cle.com> Subject: [PATCH 2/2] 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.
