I enabled this HFI crud on my ADL (INTEL_HFI_THERMAL -- because
apparently Debian doesn't default enable this) and now I get all of _1_
interrupt during boot.
Building a kernel on that machine doesn't manage to trip another one.
TRM: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Thermal event interrupts
So yeah.. *can* change, but doesn't.
