What is the kernel doing there, why and when?
So far I just know pstate for the core-i archs, and intel-undervolting for kind of power management.
There is no laptop_tools involved on that desktop system.

Code:

That's your radeon, not your CPU.

Interesting, no word about the radeon in those lines. What does it do? I'm starting my kernel with the parameter radeon.dpm=1 but I guess this is the default behaviour anyway.
Is Power Management causing this power state switching? But it is always switching from performance to performance? I've never seen any other power state in my logs.

How can this be set to powersave for instance?

I don't use radeon driver, but there are some hints on wiki page like this:
Code:
root #echo "low" > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile

I learned that setting radeon.dpm=1 does set it to verbose while the default is already dpm=1. So I drop that kernel arg to avoid the messages..
