The following output always appears when I run powertop:

Suggestion: Enable the CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND kernel configuration option.
The 'ondemand' CPU speed governer will minimize the CPU power usage while
giving you performance when it is needed.

Is there a reason why powertop always recommends ondemand?
Conservative is a much more sensible
The patch against 1.2 replaces the ondemand check with a check for conservative.
