If a user's configuration doesn't explicitly specify the cpufreq scaling governor then the code currently explicitly falls back to 'powersave'. This default is fine for notebooks and desktops, but servers and undefined machines should default to 'performance'. Look at the 'preferred_profile' field from the FADT to set this policy accordingly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
