Fix acpi_pad high cpu use#

add the line blacklist acpi_pad to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

This will keep the acpi_pad driver from loading at boot time.

If you need to remove acpi_pad without a reboot you can use: modprobe –r acpi_pad This removes the driver. However, note that the driver will restart upon a reboot.
