I tried to test on a macbook in hand however I did not see the _PPC
notifier on this machine so it might not cover the code path in
this patch. I checked the cpufreq with this patch using
different load and the cpufreq scales well.

There first seems to be some patching error when applying this on
top of upstream 5.0, but I realized that this patch is based on
intel-next.
