           Summary: cpufreq governors woks crazy
           Product: Power Management
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 3.9-rc2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: cpufreq
        AssignedTo: cpufreq@vger.kernel.org
        ReportedBy: towo@siduction.org
        Regression: No


Since i test kernel 3.9-rc2, cpufreq is crazy with governors ondemand and
conservative.
Even if the system is idling, cpufreq is on the highest or medium frequency.
Only with powersafe i can get the cpu to the lowest frequency.

This behavior i cant see in 3.8 or below.

Here the output from cpufreq-info:
