Just rebooted my main Intel chimer with "intel_idle.max_cstate=0".
It was already using HZ=100

Wow.  I thought something was wrong.  My local clock offset (peerstats
file) has always been hanging around 100ppm.  Stable to ±1ppm so I
figured that was normal.

After reboot the local clock offset started at 9ppm and has been slowyly
going down, now under 2ppm.

I made note of these setting in the gpsd-time-service-howto.txt

Anyone got a guess what the equivalent RasPi setting to turn off
power saving would be?
