Fixing Thermal Throttling on Thinkpad P1 and X1 Extreme - Linux Edition

Lenovo messed up with the X1E and P1 Gen 1 versions (and maybe later generations) in that the system boots with a thermal limit (aka Tjunction or tjmax) set to 82C (some report 80C). What this means is that regardless of power draw or under-volting settings, when your CPU hits 82C, it will drop the frequency down to the "Configurable TDP-down" frequency, or even lower. It will also may limits the system power draw.

# Rclone mount on boot
# Copy file to: /etc/systemd/system
# You need to create a remote on RClone and a folder on your disk, both with same name <rclone-remote>
# This example uses /cloud/ folder as origin to mount all remotes, change it to your needs
# This example use a linux user named rclone. Create it or adapt it to your needs. Rclone will get config from that user's home folder
# Register new service by typing:
# sudo systemctl daemon-reload
# Do the next one for every remote you want to load on boot
# sudo systemctl enable rclone-mount@<rclone-remote>.service
# systemctl start rclone-mount@<rclone-remote>.service
