I just tried this on today's daily trusty build. Running cpufreq-set
--governor performance works fine as root, but still fails as a user in
the adm and sudo groups. Exit code 218 again.

cpufreq-set doesn't actually use the dbus service to change the cpu
frequency, it tries to poke the sysfs directly, which you can only do as
root.
You need to use a tool that uses the org.gnome.cpufreqselector dbus api.

Thanks for the pointer. Bummer. Can you point me toward some
documentation on how this works and/or a command line tool that will
change the cpu governor without sudo?
