Description

Basically, I've had an issue with intel_lpmd, which is that if I have to disable it (either by stopping the service or switching to performance mode on gnome's system menu) if I want to do anything I know is demanding, like a game, because otherwise I'll get awful performance in such situations, as the software in question only seemingly is allowed to use the last 4 threads, as shown by htop (13-16). So, is there a way for intel_lpmd to unpin stuff from the low power cores (i'm on alderlake i5-12500h)

And yes, I run intel_lpmd always on AUTO mode, regardless of being on AC or BAT power. I'm on Arch Linux as well.
