hardcoding a list of cpufreq governors is kinda icky, but I don't have
a better solution.  We'll just have to be mindful of it if we ever
get around to finally making performance/powersave personalities
of ondemand as was discussed years ago.

What if the governor is set to 'userspace' ?
powernowd/cpufreqd are sort of ondemand-done-in-userspace, but there
may also be other userspace governors we don't know about.
I suppose it's not catastrophic..
