I re-sent this email becuase my system time was incorrect for my first submission (The sent time of the first submission showed "2012/8/16 08:12PM"). Sorry for any inconvenience.
Do not load the Intel pstate driver if the platform firmware
(ACPI BIOS) supports the power management alternatives.
The ACPI BIOS indicates that the OS control mode can be used
if the _PSS (Performance Supported States) is defined in ACPI
table. For the OS control mode, the Intel pstate driver will be
loaded.
