A binary hack is a silly way to have to fix something that should not have been broken. If ondemand is too slow - make the default performance so the user can choose, rather than making ondemand work exactly the same way as performance. Honestly, what is the point of having two policies that do

Well you don't really need to recompile the module a simple binary hack could solve the problem. The basic idea is that 1001 is 00989681 in hex and stored in p4-clockmod.ko as 81969800 a simple search for it and replace it with 80969800. So I did the following hack (far from being optimal):
