It's probably worth trying, however I suspect it will only work on some
old revisions of it.
The X201 laptop seem to freeze after 30min if you fill the ME
partition with 0xffffs. Maybe something could be attempted here.
Note that the ME is also involved in power management such as getting
the temperature. There was a patch related to that in coreboot.
However it might not be as easy as it seems.
