Hmm... on my machine I don't have the `intel_pstate` loaded, apparently.
Doing `modprobe intel_pstate` does nothing (no output, no error, nothing
in `dmesg` either).  Maybe my i3-4170 CPU is too old and it silently
bows out (and then some other part of the default config favors
`schedutil` over `powersave` when intel_pstate is not in use)?
