Thanks. This is very much appreciated. I like the idea of boot parameters, this avoids the seduction to build tools on it and mis-use this as an official interface. But where I like to see a sysfs interface for, is the passive trip point and allow: a) lowering passive trip points b) let user define his own passive trip point if none is provided by BIOS I don't remember whether every trip point gets it's own sysfs file. If yes, adding a passive_user file, default -1 and the normal passive file where the current active passive trip point value is shown, is how I think this could be done. I know you hate it, because it's not explicitly stated in ACPI spec, works around it a bit and so on. But this one is: 1) safe (in respect to hardware and code) 2) a very mighty feature Please let us implement the spec a little loose at this point, M$ is also doing it at other parts. Let's get some fruits not always the stones...
