[Bug 1484616] [NEW] pstate_idle is broken on 4.1, high fan speed when idle

 

Public bug reported:

The system has high fan speed even when idle. Overall, the fan never
gets to a fan speed as low as with the 3.13 kernel.

When running the kernel with intel_pstate=disable, i get much more
governor choices, and when selecting "powersave" with this, i get much
better behavior, just as with the 3.13 kernel.
