The only constraint on schedutil is SMP I think; aside from that it
should/could always be available.
Given the trainwreck here:
20201022071145.GM2628@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net
(you're on Cc), I'm starting to lean more and more towards making it
unconditionally available (when SMP).
Anybody forcing it off either sets performance (in which case we don't
care about energy usage anyway) or they select one of the old (broken)
ondemand/conservative things and I don't give a crap.
