After a short exchange, Christoph approved this patch
Some G5s still occasionally experience shutdowns due to overtemp
conditions despite the recent fix. After analyzing logs from such
machines, it appears that the overtemp code is a bit too quick at
shutting the machine down when reaching the critical temperature (tmax +
8) and doesn't leave the fan enough time to actually cool it down. This
happens if the temperature of a CPU suddenly rises too high in a very
short period of time, or occasionally on boot (that is the CPUs are
already overtemp by the time the driver loads).
This patches makes the code a bit more relaxed, leaving a few seconds to
the fans to do their job before kicking the machine shutown.

For the sysctl syscall, if the user wants to get the old value of a

Such strategy routines as sysctl_jiffies and sysctl_jiffies_ms return 1

The strategy routine sysctl_string return 0 although it actually read

The problem is that when new policies are inserted, sockets do not see
the update (but all new route lookups do).
This bug is related to the SA insertion stale route issue solved
recently, and this policy visibility problem can be fixed in a similar
way.
The fix is to flush out the bundles of all policies deeper than the
policy being inserted. Consider beginning state of "outgoing"
direction policy list:
policy A --> policy B --> policy C --> policy D
First, realize that inserting a policy into a list only potentially
changes IPSEC routes for that direction. Therefore we need not bother
considering the policies for other directions. We need only consider
the existing policies in the list we are doing the inserting.
Consider new policy "B'", inserted after B.
policy A --> policy B --> policy B' --> policy C --> policy D
Two rules:
1) If policy A or policy B matched before the insertion, they
appear before B' and thus would still match after inserting
B'
2) Policy C and D, now "shadowed" and after policy B', potentially
contain stale routes because policy B' might be selected
instead of them.
Therefore we only need flush routes assosciated with policies
appearing after a newly inserted policy, if any.
