Description:
Please kindly add split package intel-speed-select ; it is used to boost frequency of selected cores on certain models of Intel CPUs, and is included in Linux kernel sources (like other packages in linux-tools). Details on this tool https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/pm/intel-speed-select.html ; example change in PKGBUILD in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2125625 |

With the later models of intel CPU, especially on laptops, there are quite a few speed issues, and this tool is invaluable to troubleshoot what is going on.
Right now I am building the tools myself, but it would be trivial for you to add them as a separate package.

linux git repo ... FAILED (unknown public key 79BE3E4300411886)
==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!
==> ERROR: Could not download sources.
```
So, just import the key, right?
Unfortunately, that does not work:
```
[evert@Evert linux-tools]$ gpg --recv-keys 79BE3E4300411886
gpg: keyserver receive failed: No data
```
```
[evert@Evert linux-tools]$ intel-speed-select --help
Must run as root
[evert@Evert linux-tools]$ sudo intel-speed-select --help
Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
Executing on CPU model:183[0xb7]
Intel speed select drivers are not loaded on this system.
Verify that kernel config includes CONFIG_INTEL_SPEED_SELECT_INTERFACE.
If the config is included then this is not a supported platform.
```
How does one go about asking for this option to be switched on in the default kernel?
The Speed Select drivers are compiled as modules, and so come with the default Arch kernel.
Still it would be nice to have the intel-speed-select utility available for the people who do have supported CPUs.
