+The Linux Thermal Daemon program from 01.org
+
+Thermald deals with thermal issues for intel processor families
+codenamed intel sandy-bridge and above. It is a Linux daemon
+used to prevent the overheating of systems. This daemon monitors
+temperature and applies compensation using available cooling methods.
+
+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.
+
+ If none of the above is available uses cpufreq to control P states.
