Fix Intel CPU Throttling on Linux

This tool was originally developed to fix Linux CPU throttling issues affecting Lenovo T480 / T480s / X1C6 as described here.

The CPU package power limit (PL1/2) is forced to a value of 44 W (29 W on battery) and the temperature trip point to 95 'C (85 'C on battery) by overriding default values in MSR and MCHBAR every 5 seconds (30 on battery) to block the Embedded Controller from resetting these values to default.

On systems where the EC doesn't reset the values (ex: ASUS Zenbook UX430UNR), the power limit can be altered by using the official intel_rapl driver (see Static fix for more information)

They don't have a basis to ask for it and don't want cops involved.

< Police should be there any second now. You're under arrest for evading and trespassing.

In my experience, such practices are either ridiculed or praised.

Having involuntarily adopted such behavior into personal life- this has brought some... friction with other people.

In the workplace, however- shit gets done _real_ quick and everyone's happy.

I haven't in a long while- but when I did, it ran on Debian 8 just fine.

I saw a red book and I want to painted it black... No colours anymore, I want them to turn black..
