Re: thermal governor: does it actually work??

Hi Boris, Alex, Andreas,

what do you think about this acerhdf patch?
I think it makes things straight and implements the two-point regulation of 
acerhdf to be for correctly handled by the thermal layer:

Subject: [PATCH] added two more trip points to acerhdf, this allows thermal
 layer to correctly handle the two point regulation of acerhdf. Trip point 0
 will be active from 0 degree to "fanoff" and is marked as passive, then trip
 point 1 is valid from "fanoff" to "fanon" value and is marked as active,
 even if it's only really active in case temperature is going down from trip
 point 2. Trip point 2 will be valid above "fanon" value and is also marked
 as active.
