Hmm dont know more it seems. Perhaps contact original author? Those ACPI 
routines are not called unless the TMP method for thermal stuff is called. So If 
there will be no readings from the acpi thermal sysfs/proc file the method will 
not run (in theory if the code is write like here)

It depends what methods are called. Imho if you remove the "thermal" support 
from the ACPI it should be ok. If someone gives me the table, I can take a look.
