Issue/Bug Description:

I don't know if this is a bug or is just something that wasn't considered in development, but I noticed how the cpu boost state isn never affected in any way by any power profile switch. If it's on it will stay on, and same for off.

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

echo 0 or 1 to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost (may vary for other manifacturers/cpus)
Change power profile
Notice how the boost state isn't changed at all.

Expected behavior:

Again, I'm not sure if this is the intended behavior, but I think (and see) that in most CPUs, keeping boost enabled can really be battery draining, so I think it should be disabled on battery profile and maybe even on balanced for more powerful CPUs.
