I'm curious if you intend to bring back support for EAS with 
intel_pstate in active mode down the line?

That would get this working out of the box across distros, since 
`intel_pstate=active` is the default setup everywhere (and typically 
what users should prefer? as I understand from the documentation.)

Thanks for your work!
