@rbalint As said before the kernel messages and bugs are irrelevant and wrong. They pretend like intel_pstate is different, when in fact it's this script that is configuring it here. And yes, it needs OS config.

Nor do other distros not do this, but we do it differently. We set the CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y option, and then transition to that at the end of the boot. Other distributions do not set CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE and hence the kernel has powersave as the default.

By removing this script, we are diverging from other distros, not becoming closer to them - for pstates, anyway.
