Here is an example of how trip_points file looks like then, got some
time to boot on a machine with active trip points to make the intend of
the patch more obvious:

trip_points file:
-----------------
critical (S5):           105 C
passive:                 100 C: tc1=1 tc2=2 tsp=100 devices=C000
active[0]:               80 C: devices=C25C
active[1]:               65 C: devices=C25D
active[2]:               55 C: devices=C25E
active[3]:               35 C: devices=C25F

ls -d /proc/acpi/fan/*:
----------------------
/proc/acpi/fan/C25C
/proc/acpi/fan/C25D
/proc/acpi/fan/C25E
/proc/acpi/fan/C25F

ls -d /proc/acpi/processor/*:
-----------------------------
/proc/acpi/processor/C000
