Bug#785601: blacklist i8k (solved)
Here is what I used:
$ cat blacklist.conf
# https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_modules#Using_files_in_.2Fetc.2Fmodprobe.d.2F_2
install i8k /bin/false
This prevents systemd to load i8k early on (# systemctl stop i8kmon):
May 19 15:23:54 maester i8kmon[1631]: Starting Dell
fan/cpu-temperature monitor: i8kmon Could not find /proc/i8k. failed!
