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

* Rename ‘cpuFreqGovernor’ to ‘powerManagement.cpuFreqGovernor’.
* Include cpufreq-utils in the system path if a governor is set, since
we depend on it anyway.

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.

* Add a pm-utils hook to allow commands to be executed when the system
suspends/resumes etc.
