Here its required, if we write CPU/GPU Pstates and PPT to
some keys (MSTS MSPC HE0N), we can reduce the temp by 10C
And We can fix the dreaded PROCHOT signals on macs, Giving
Same temps as macOS.
But you and Sasha are right, that exposing all keys is a
bad idea, so i have restricted writing to some keys only.
