This should DTRT with active cooling (fans, etc.). It won't help with passive cooling yet (we need to sort out the processor device control first), and it may well have problems (there are places where the specification is vague about what should be in the namespace and my ability to test these options is limited). Testing and feedback would be welcome. I'll try to get the new ACPI CA stuff merged tomorrow, unless there are too many people bugging me at Usenix. 8) Regards, Mike -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force people to take different points of view.
