SubjectRe: [RESEND 2] [PATCH 0/2] Rewrite power limit notification interrupt handling
Len,

>printk(KERN_INFO "CPU%d: %s power limit normal\n"

I'm seeing this on a widening number of systems, mostly newer Intel systems.

The idea that these are "routine" just doesn't make sense to me. Either this
warning is firing for a valid reason or it isn't. If it isn't then the question
remains -- why is it firing? Is it because of buggy FW or is something
actually wrong with the hardware?

P.
