This annoys me _enormously_:

  CONFIG_ACPI_INT3403_THERMAL:

  This driver uses ACPI INT3403 device objects. If present, it will
  register each INT3403 thermal sensor as a thermal zone.

This is the "help" text for the new ACPI thermal driver.

WTF?

Really, whoever wrote that "help" text wasn't thinking of helping
users. What the f*ck is an INT3403 device object? Is is common? Where?
Is it a standard? Is it something normal people should expect?
