"""
By default on Nehalem and newer Macs, the firmware will throttle if
the battery is either dead or missing. The firmware will set
'BD PROCHOT' to notify the OS the machine needs to run in an extreme
low power mode.
Enabling this option will patch 'MSR_POWER_CTL' to be unset allowing
proper CPU behaviour as if battery is present. Note that this can cause
instability in situations where the CPU is being taxed and pulls more
power than the PSU can supply.
Note: Only supported on Nehalem and newer MacBooks (2010+)
