En, in fact we also think this solution, let command line parse to set initial 
default governor.
However, it also need user to set at grub, compared with xenpm, seems xenpm 
tool is some convenient to user, since by xenpm user can get initial default 
governor and change governor on the fly.
It's my draft thinking, and we can add boot-time option ASAP once you think 
needed.
