I have an HP Pavilion (whose model I don't remember either; it's not 
printed anywhere on the computer), and I keep getting variuos messages 
from TZ, but when trying to set that variable, I get

sysctl: unknown oid 'hw.acpi.thermal.polling_rate'.

I'm running 6.2-RELEASE-p6. Did I miss something, or is that variable 
introduced in 6-STABLE after 6.2-RELEASE?
