Subject: [PATCH 2/2 V6] intel_pstate: add kernel parameter to force loading on Sun X86 servers.
Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2014 12:36:17 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1417145777-21897-4-git-send-email-ethan.zhao@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1417145777-21897-1-git-send-email-ethan.zhao@oracle.com>
To force loading on Oracle Sun X86 servers, provide one kernel command line
parameter
intel_pstate = ora_force
For those who be aware of the risk of no power capping capabily working and
try to get better performance with this driver.
Signed-off-by: Ethan Zhao <ethan.zhao@oracle.com>

v2: change to hardware vendor specific naming parameter.
v4: refine code and doc.
v5&v6: fix a typo in doc.
