Please remove this. The behavior is correct and it just affects buggy applications like iperf, which used usleep(0) as a yield. iperf is fixed by now.

Hi!

Can we add 'writing to /proc/acpi/thermal/*/trip_points' no longer works to the list? Len did it intentionally but that does not make it right. People are using it and we did not go through deprecation period. Plus there's no reasonable alternative.

Was that writeability causing any actual problems in 2.6.21?
