Hi all,

First of all, sorry for top post, only webmail is available now.

Second, sorry again for report incorrect commit, I were too tired this morning so I remember the wrong commit.  The regression is caused by bb6ab52f2bef ("intel_pstate: Do not set utilization update hook too early"), so I update the email title.

here is the bisect log:

The 'funny' thing is though; those synchronize thingies are only reached
when we change cpufreq policy, so things like:

  for i in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor ; do echo performance > $i ; done

Something which is hardly possible when idle. Weird.
