I think we need to know if intel_pstate is more stable in 4.x series,
because the new releases. If it keeps unstable may be disable by
default is the better choice.

> Bug description:
>   3.9 introduced a new default governor on SandyBridge CPUs called
>   INTEL_PSTATE which, when built in and enabled (the default), removes
>   all other governors (like our usual default, ondemand). 3.10 extended
>   this to Ivybridge generation CPUs.
>
>   In theory, this isn't an awful thing, as the new Intel pstate governor
>   should be higher performance and give better power savings.  In
>   theory.
>
>   In practice, it drives my CPUs to max frequency nearly constantly,
>   spins my fans like mad and, somehow, does all of this while also
>   eating enough CPU time in kernel threads to make my machine choppy,
>   unresponsive, and unable to do simple things like play videos when I
>   get off work.
>
>   Therefore, I propose that we, for now, toggle intel_pstate to disable
>   by default (I am using intel_pstate=disable on my command line right
>   now, with great success), so it's still built in, and people can play
>   with it, but it's off by default.
