I think I will have to rate-limit it somehow.  Do we have any ready-to-
use generic rate-limiters that can do 'once a minute', or should I
cook my own?

But your thinkpad needs some sort of hardware loving care, it seems.
What does "sensors" report (or cat /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal) ?

That is a direct alarm from the firmware, the EC thinks your hardware
is damaged and about to catch fire.

Either that, or something  in the driver is seriously broken. But
you're the first one to ever report that alarm :)
