I tested your patch with value 0x20 on my machine ("AOA110" product, "v0.3309" version).
The fan was freaking out and spinning high like a helicopter.

I think we have to distinguish between the BIOS products too. Here a patch, please have a look at it and test it.

cheers,
	peter

Peter:
 o Applied Borislav Petkov's patch
 o Added BIOS product to BIOS table as AOA110 and AOA150 have
   different register values
 o Added force_product parameter to allow forcing different
   product
 o Fixed linker warning caused by "acerhdf_drv" not being named
   "acerhdf_driver"
 o Added Packard Bell DOA150 BIOS settings
