These patches add support for the Cooling Method feature found in most Toshiba laptops, allowing userspace to control the desired cooling method, which are the following: 0 - Maximum Performance 1 - Peformance 2 - Battery Optimized
The Cooling Method feature basically controls the speed of the system fan, setting the speed (and quietness) according to the selected method. The default value at every boot is zero (Maximum Performance), on Windows, Toshiba provides hooks to the power management system, allowing the user to change it according to their needs and/or the AC adapter state.
