Dont' know how this is supposed to work on a system using the pstate
driver, but i have a similar issue:

With the realtime patch, but built with CONFIG_PREEMPT__LL=y
# uname -r
3.14.12-rt9
# uname -v
#1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Aug 25 17:27:37 CEST 2014

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver
intel_pstate
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
performance powersave
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
powersave
# echo "performance" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
performance

But using i7z, I see no change in behaviour on this cpu, while using the
interface in /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate does seem to work
rather well.

With the realtime patch enabled CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL=y
# uname -r
3.14.12-rt9-1-rt
# uname -v
#1 SMP PREEMPT RT Sat Aug 23 04:41:50 CEST 2014

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_driver
intel_pstate
#  cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
performance powersave
# echo "performance" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
powersave

I don't if this is normal for the pstate driver, but if one can't
change governor, i suppose it shouldn't show one either?
