+The Linux Thermal Daemon program from 01.org
+
+Thermald deals with thermal issues for intel processor families codenamed
+intel sandy-bridge and above.
+Its is a Linux daemon used to prevent the overheating of systems.
+This daemon monitors temperature and applies compensation using available
+cooling methods.
+
+Uses intel p-state driver.
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+Kernel
+ Need kernel with "Intel P State driver", to use Intel P state driver to
+ cool the system.
+ Intel Power clamp driver: To use Idle injection to cool the system.
+ CONFIG_X86_MSR, so that x86 MSR can be read/write from user space to
+ control P-States.
