    ACPI: thermal: add DMI hooks to handle AOpen's broken Award BIOS
    
    Use DMI to:
    1. enable polling (BIOS thermal events are broken)
    2. disable active trip points (BIOS fan control is broken)
    3. disable passive trip point (BIOS hard-codes it too low)
    
    The actual temperature reading does work,
    and with the aid of polling, the critical
    trip point should work too.

    ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.act=" to disable or override active trip point
    
    thermal.act=-1 disables all active trip points
    in all ACPI thermal zones.
    
    thermal.act=C, where C > 0, overrides all lowest temperature
    active trip points in all thermal zones to C degrees Celsius.
    Raising this trip-point may allow you to keep your system silent
    up to a higher temperature.  However, it will not allow you to
    raise the lowest temperature trip point above the next higher
    trip point (if there is one).  Lowering this trip point may
    kick in the fan sooner.
    
    Note that overriding this trip-point will disable any BIOS attempts
    to implement hysteresis around the lowest temperature trip point.
    This may result in the fan starting and stopping frequently
    if temperature frequently crosses C.
    
    WARNING: raising trip points above the manufacturer's defaults
    may cause the system to run at higher temperature and shorten
    its life.

commit f54871456162aff557d57bec51639b1288d4a84b

    ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.nocrt" to disable critical actions
    
    thermal.nocrt=1 disables actions on _CRT and _HOT
    ACPI thermal zone trip-points.  They will be marked
    as <disabled> in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points.
    
    There are two cases where this option is used:
    
    1. Debugging a hot system crossing valid trip point.
    
       If your system fan is spinning at full speed,
       be sure that the vent is not clogged with dust.
       Many laptops have very fine thermal fins that are easily blocked.
    
       Check that the processor fan-sink is properly seated,
       has the proper thermal grease, and is really spinning.
    
       Check for fan related options in BIOS SETUP.
       Sometimes there is a performance vs quiet option.
       Defaults are generally the most conservative.
    
       If your fan is not spinning, yet /proc/acpi/fan/
       has files in it, please file a Linux/ACPI bug.
    
       WARNING: you risk shortening the lifetime of your
       hardware if you use this parameter on a hot system.
       Note that this refers to all system components,
       including the disk drive.
    
    2. Working around a cool system crossing critical
       trip point due to erroneous temperature reading.
    
       Try again with CONFIG_HWMON=n
       There is known potential for conflict between the
       the hwmon sub-system and the ACPI BIOS.
       If this fixes it, notify lm-sensors@...sensors.org
       and linux-acpi@...r.kernel.org
    
       Otherwise, file a Linux/ACPI bug, or notify
       just linux-acpi@...r.kernel.org.

    ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.psv=" to override passive trip points
    
    "thermal.psv=-1" disables passive trip points
    for all ACPI thermal zones.
    
    "thermal.psv=C", where 'C' is degrees Celsius,
    overrides all existing passive trip points
    for all ACPI thermal zones.
    
    thermal.psv is checked at module load time,
    and in response to trip-point change events.
    
    Note that if the system does not deliver thermal zone
    temperature change events near the new trip-point,
    then it will not be noticed.  To force your custom
    trip point to be noticed, you may need to enable polling:
    eg. thermal.tzp=3000 invokes polling every 5 minutes.
    
    Note that once passive thermal throttling is invoked,
    it has its own internal Thermal Sampling Period (_TSP),
    that is unrelated to _TZP.
    
    WARNING: disabling or raising a thermal trip point
    may result in increased running temperature and
    shorter hardware lifetime on some systems.

commit 730ff34de766a6fddee25ac1c32bc49c1a2fd758
Author: Len Brown <len.brown@...el.com>
Date:   Sun Aug 12 00:12:26 2007 -0400

    ACPI: thermal: expose "thermal.tzp=" to set global polling frequency
    
    Thermal Zone Polling frequency (_TZP) is an optional ACPI object
    recommending the rate that the OS should poll the associated thermal zone.
    
    If _TZP is 0, no polling should be used.
    If _TZP is non-zero, then the platform recommends that
    the OS poll the thermal zone at the specified rate.
    The minimum period is 30 seconds.
    The maximum period is 5 minutes.
    
    (note _TZP and thermal.tzp units are in deci-seconds,
     so _TZP = 300 corresponds to 30 seconds)
    
    If _TZP is not present, ACPI 3.0b recommends that the
    thermal zone be polled at an "OS provided default frequency".
    
    However, common industry practice is:
    1. The BIOS never specifies any _TZP
    2. High volume OS's from this century never poll any thermal zones
    
    Ie. The OS depends on the platform's ability to
    provoke thermal events when necessary, and
    the "OS provided default frequency" is "never":-)
    
    There is a proposal that ACPI 4.0 be updated to reflect
    common industry practice -- ie. no _TZP, no polling.
    
    The Linux kernel already follows this practice --
    thermal zones are not polled unless _TZP is present and non-zero.
    
    But thermal zone polling is useful as a workaround for systems
    which have ACPI thermal control, but have an issue preventing
    thermal events.  Indeed, some Linux distributions still
    set a non-zero thermal polling frequency for this reason.
    
    But rather than ask the user to write a polling frequency
    into all the /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/polling_frequency
    files, here we simply document and expose the already
    existing module parameter to do the same at system level,
    to simplify debugging those broken platforms.
    
    Note that thermal.tzp is a module-load time parameter only.

    acpi-cpufreq: Fix some x86/x86-64 acpi-cpufreq driver issues
    
    This patch addresses some issues in x86/x86-64 acpi-cpufreq driver:
    
    1.  Current memory allocation for acpi_perf_data is actually open-coded
       alloc_percpu().  The patch defines and handles acpi_perf_data as percpu
       data.  The code will be cleaner and easier to be maintained with this
       change.
    
    2. Won't load driver in acpi_cpufreq_early_init() failure case.
    
    3. Add __init for acpi_cpufreq_early_init().

    ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: change thinkpad-acpi input default and kconfig help
    
    The current kconfig help text was misleading users.  Also, the default for

    up-to-date userspace in place.
    
    So, rework the help text, and change the default to N.  Note that
    distributions are supposed to enable this option as soon as they update HAL
    to a version that handles the thinkpad-acpi new input layer interface.

    ACPI: EC: If ECDT is not found, look up EC in DSDT.
    
    Some ASUS laptops access EC space from device _INI methods, but do not
    provide ECDT for early EC setup. In order to make them function properly,
    there is a need to find EC is DSDT before any _INI is called.
    
    Similar functionality was turned on by acpi_fake_ecdt=1 command line
    before. Now it is on all the time.

    ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: fix the module init failure path
    
    Thomas Renninger reports that if one tries to load thinkpad-acpi in a
    non-thinkpad, one gets:
    
    Call Trace:

    So, track if the platform driver and its driver attributes were registered,
    and only deallocate them in that case.
    
    This patch is based on Thomas Renninger's patch for the issue.

    ACPI: add "acpi_no_auto_ssdt" bootparam
    
    "acpi_no_auto_ssdt" prevents Linux from automatically loading
    all the SSDTs listed in the RSDT/XSDT.
    
    This is needed for debugging.  In particular,
    it allows a DSDT override to optionally be a DSDT+SSDT override.
