This is FATAL of course. If you select 0 pcores (but have ecores enabled), save and reboot, you now get to practice clearing the BIOS CMOS.

Why is this option even there when it's guaranteed to be unbootable? It's one thing to offer various voltage, frequency, etc. configuration because it's not certain what will work or not, and everyone's system may be unique. But I'm guessing you will NEVER boot with 0 performance cores, so why allow the user to "commit suicide"?
