Feature Request: disable Thinkpad "lapmode detection"

[joshstoik1]

Hi there,

The upstream Thinkpad ACPI driver has an iffy "lapmode" condition that disables Performance Mode anytime the sensors think they detect a human lap. (In practice this triggers for all sorts of random reasons; the sensors aren't very good.)

I'm sure it made a lawyer happy, but it's pretty insulting.

I came across this dkms module a while back and have been manually building Xanmod kernels with a comparable change to this line to regain control over my system's power profile:

- *state = output & BIT(DYTC_GET_LAPMODE_BIT) ? true : false;
+ *state = output & BIT(DYTC_GET_LAPMODE_BIT) ? false : false;

Is this something you would consider adding to the Xanmod patchset?

Thanks!
