Hi,

With this patch, my CPU (Core i7-3770 @ 3.90GHz) seems to never use lowest
frequencies. Even on an idle system I get always ~2GHz. Normally,
on an idle system it used to be 1.6GHz.
On very small loads (mp3 decoding) the CPU goes up to 2.7G GHz (it used to
be 1.6GHz)

Reverting, this patch on my local build, the problem is resolved.

Dirk, seriously, I can't regard this as a fix that can go into -rc6.


Ok I will resubmit after more testing

Which of the other patch in the series are must-go for 3.15? [1-2/5] I guess?
And do we need [2/5] it in -stable too?

1/5 is for stable it fixes a random MCE on baytrail.
2/5 is for stable it should have went with the stop_cpu patch
5/5 can go too since it is just adding CPU IDs
