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.
+Uses intel p-state driver and works with kernels 3.10 and above.

+Prefers kernel with
+ Intel RAPL power capping driver : Available from Linux kernel 3.13.rc1
+ Intel P State driver (Available in Linux kernel stable release)
+ Intel Power clamp driver (Available in Linux kernel stable release)
+
+ CONFIG_X86_MSR, so that x86 MSR can be read/write from user space
+ to control RAPL if no RAPL powecap class driver is not present.
