Subject[PATCH 3/3] x86/mce/therm_throt: allow disabling the thermal vector altogether
Date
The thermal IRQ handler uses 1.21% CPU on my system when it's hot from
compiling things. Indeed looking at /proc/interrupts reveals quite a lot
of events coming in. Beyond logging them, the existing drivers on the
system don't appear to do very much that I'm interested in. So, add a
way to disable this entirely so that I can regain precious CPU cycles.
