The thermal zone must provide a sane _TZP Thermal Zone Polling and a passive
cooling trip point to provide a proper thermal management.
Ok, in strict sense they are not violating the spec here if the critical shut
down is intended. But it is not.

> I'd much rather see a generic solution to this...
I am all against compatibility to specific Microsoft OS bugs and workarounds.
(This depends, say all workarounds that can be fixed with _OSI hooks).
We will end up with double polling temp on a lot machines and punish those who
are doing it right, e.g. HP sends thermal events. While Microsoft will fix
their bug with their next OS Release or a Service Pack.
But as I already said, I agree that thermal management is too important and a
generic solution is also very appreciated from my side.
