      ACPI: fix High cpu temperature with 2.6.32 · 370d5cd8
      Arjan van de Ven authored
      Since the rewrite of the CPU idle governor in 2.6.32, two laptops have
      surfaced where the BIOS advertises a C2 power state, but for some reason
      this state is not functioning (as verified in both cases by powertop
      before the patch in .32).
      
      The old governor had the accidental behavior that if a non-working state
      was chosen too many times, it would end up falling back to C1.  The new
      governor works differently and this accidental behavior is no longer
      there; the result is a high temperature on these two machines.
      
      This patch adds these 2 machines to the DMI table for C state anomalies;
      by just not using C2 both these machines are better off (the TSC can be
      used instead of the pm timer, giving a performance boost for example).
