The built-in default of the kernel is 'conservative'.  When a computer
is switched off, it has no memory of previous settings.  When the system
boots, the built-in default is always used ('conservative').

If we want something else to be used, we need to have a program to tell
the kernel to use something other than the default, /at every boot/.

After we have told the kernel we would like it to use a different
governor, then we're okay to complain about the kernel changing the
governor on its own.

The initscript that currently does this type of setting is called
'/etc/init.d/powernowd';  not that this is primarily a script, by
default we no longer start the associated daemon.  That script currently
lacks a useful configuration method since we stopped using the daemon
and switched to the built-in kernel methods.
