Thomas - just curious, how is the machine violating the specs? You said in
comment #44 that having a critical trip point without a passive one was normal
in "a lot laptops and most recent desktops"?

I'd much rather see a generic solution to this than just a DMI special case for
this machine. There are lots of similar reports in various forums and distro
bugzillas, and the solutions people are using are messy userspace hacks.

How do people feel about Matthew's approach in the comment #54 patch, of doing
this in the generic thermal layer rather than in ACPI?
