Intel ME doesn't only provide some services (that you may or may not
use), but it also does low-level stuff (like silicon workaround,
thermal management, fan control...). Luckily, no user has reported any
side effect so far (as many of these features aren't used anymore, they
are implemented by something else or they are executed in the modules
not removed by me_cleaner ).
