1. The patch is required, atleast on intel macs, as without writing GPU and CPU
	states to smc, the system gives PROCHOT signal under small load
	, and heats up a lot.

2. the smc dosent expose keys of nature that can physically damage the system
	it only exposes power/volt data, and the most you can poke is reboot
	keys and gpu/cpu p-states.

3. If a person is randomly touching keys, Its their problem and not ours.

4. There are a lot of things that can mess the system way more and permanently
	than smc (undervolting for example), but they are not safe guarded, why
	should this be then?
