Comment # 13 on bug 984955 from Michael from Offenbach Germany

> Could you please test the current distro kernel with the cstate limit?

I've used the distro 4.1.26-21-default for 10 days now WITHOUT the cstate
limit. Originally I've decided to give it a try without the limit, until the
first freeze. But, I love it, not one freeze with 4.1.26-21-default.

Tested with high USB HDD i/o - no freeze. Only thing changed is the fs on my
usb hdd: switched from ntfs to ext4, as the kernel crashes always corrupted
ntfs. 

Going now to 4.1.27-24, offered as security update.

I've the strong feeling that my bug has been fixed somewhere on the way to
4.1.26-21, let's see...
