[Bug 1503773] Re: Drop ondemand init script

[Sergio Callegari]

@Steve Langasek
A big issue is that the script makes quite arbitrary assumptions on the system, including the fact that there is an ondemand governor at all.

A large number of modern systems use the intel p-state driver that does
not have an ondemand governor at all! On this systems, the fallback
mechanism in the script causes the system to always run in powersave
mode, so hindering system performance for no reason.

Title:
  Drop ondemand init script

Status in sysvinit package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ondemand init script is not inherited from Debian, it's an Ubuntu
  specific change.

  Some reasons to get rid of it:
  On my wily cloud test, systemd blame's 669ms on ondemand on a cloud instance with no ability to change frequency..
  In the init script we don't run this for android 
  Ondemand is already on by default!  Why don't we just always use whatever is that kernel's default?

  There are a number of other reported problems with it:
