Hacking the OS X Kernel for Fun and Profiles
Can someone explain what this patch actually does? I have an old Macbook Air with a malfunctioning sensor that cause the CPU to always run in powersaving mode (capped at 800 mhz), so it's basically unusable under OS X.I have walked around this issue by installing Linux which allows me to tune the CPU governor manually, and it uncaps the artificial limit that the malfunctioning sensor puts.Would this patch allow me to do something similar in Mountain Lion?
