Well, but we need to do something to force people onto schedutil,
otherwise we'll get more crap like this thread.

Can we take the choice away? Only let Kconfig select which governors are
available and then set the default ourselves? I mean, the end goal being
to not have selectable governors at all, this seems like a good step
anyway.
