Ok, thanks. That wasn't clear from the commit message.  It
sounded like bit 12 directly indicated that the OS will handle
thermal interrupts but it's a bit more indirect than that.

What I meant to ask was if the platform can disregard the _OSC information
and handle thermal events on it's own, without OS involvement.
For example, servers typically don't want to rely on the OS to manage
thermal issues.

Could this be an unexpected change in behavior for platforms
with HWP that don't have this bug, assuming they would look at
the _OSC CPPP bit?  That's actually my main concern here.
