RE: [2.6 PATCH] Missing default governors choices

[Pallipadi, Venkatesh]

Ondemand govrenor not being one of the default governors is intentional.

Ondemand governor is in-kernel cpu frequency governor, that will 
Be beneficial for CPUs that supports frequency change with low 
transition_latency. If transition_latency is high, the ondemand governor

initialization will fail (User level governor is suggested in this
case).
Hence it cannot be used as a default governor. 

Thanks,
Venki
