And of course it was also Alexandre who (I think originally) proposed
monitoring temperature to directly implement cooling via lower powerd
freqs, according to old email, in Feb 2006. I'd even forgotten having
reviewed and added a line or two to that patch .. if I lost my archives
I'd probably have no memory left at all :)

Useless trying to apply anything like this to recent powerd sources,
though. Good luck with getting its fan to go, or a warranty claim!
cheers, Ian
