Great, thanks. But see below.

The issue with the schedutil governor not working properly in the 5.4 RC series
appears to be hardware dependant.
My test computer is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz., Sandy Bridge.
On a temporary basis, I acquired a computer with an
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4460 CPU @ 3.20GHz, Haswell,
and schedutil governor behaviour with the exact same kernels is fine:
That "gitsource" test, "make test" 6 times, first run thrown out:
Kernel 5.4 intel_cpufreq/schedutil: 3411.8 seconds
Kernel 5.4 + gg 6 intel_cpufreq/schedutil: 1696.7 seconds
Ratio: 0.49
Recall you got a ratio of 0.49 with 5th generation, Broadwell.
