🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pkg — true: Package Thermal Sensor. false: Core Thermal Sensor.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Get the model-specific bitmask to extract the temperature reading from the MSR_IA32_[PACKAGE]_THERM_STATUS register. That’s the whole assignment, and it’s giving very specific little gremlin energy 🔥.

bestie, fr fr: Callers must check if the thermal status registers are supported. Do not skip the vibe check on this one 💀.
