Eelco Dolstra cf36b3db80 * If power management is enabled, set the governor to ‘ondemand’ by
default.  See
  
    http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/power/good_practices.html
    
  for the reasoning.  (Basically, the ‘performance’ and ‘powersave’
  governors don't actually provide extra performance or power savings
  in most cases.)

  It used to be that desktop environments like KDE were able to set
  the governor through HAL (e.g. KDE could be configured to switch to
  the powersave governor when the user unplugs his laptop).  However,
  this is no longer the case with upower — it is now expected that
  everybody uses the ondemand governor.  See

    http://old.nabble.com/-PATCH--powerdevil-remove-cpufreq.patch-td27815354.html

* Rename ‘cpuFreqGovernor’ to ‘powerManagement.cpuFreqGovernor’.

* Include cpufreq-utils in the system path if a governor is set, since
  we depend on it anyway.

CPU frequency scaling on some Intel CPUs.

Eelco Dolstra 86d53a5b8b * Load the cpufreq modules, since these are not loaded automatically
by udev.  The kernel can load governors on demand, but if they are
  not loaded, HAL doesn't know about them and they don't show up in
  the KDE System Settings.

Eelco Dolstra 1affc9168e * Move power management configuration into a separate module from
