However, cpupower doesn't handle this. it 1. shows turbo boost as "active" blindly for Intel platforms 2. controls turbo boost functionality via the generic /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost sysfs interface only. Enhance the cpupower tool to ensure the "--boost" command works seamlessly on Intel platforms with intel_pstate driver running.
