[PATCH] Documentation, intel_pstate: Add a description of the intel_pstate internal governors [v2]

[Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com>]

The current documentation is incomplete wrt the intel_pstate internal
governors.  The confusion comes from the general use internal governors
which also use the names performance and powersave.  This patch
differentiates between the two sets of governors.

 cpu frequency scaling algorithms only offer the CPU to be set to one
 frequency. In order to offer dynamic frequency scaling, the cpufreq
 core must be able to tell these drivers of a "target frequency". So

+The Intel P-state driver has two internal governors, performance and

 Intel SandyBridge+ processors are supported.
 
 New sysfs files for controlling P state selection have been added to
