The acpi-cpufreq driver does a P-state get after a P-state set
to verify whether set went through successfully. This test
is kind of redundant as set goes throught most of the times,
and the test is also expensive as a get of P-states can
take a lot of time (same as a set operation) as it goes
through SMM mode. Effectively, we are doubling the P-state
latency due to this get opertion.

momdule parameter "acpi_pstate_strict" restores orginal paranoia.

Otherwise a platform that supports ACPI based cpufreq
and boots up at lowest possible speed could stay there
forever.  This because the governor may request max speed,
but the code doesn't update if there is no change in
speed, and it assumed the initial state of max speed.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
