An HP laptop (Pavilion G4-1016tx) has the following code in _TMP:

       Store (\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.RTMP, Local0)
       If (LGreaterEqual (Local0, S4TP))
       {
           Store (One, HTS4)
       }

S4TP is initialised at 0 and not programmed further until either _HOT or
_CRT is called. If we evaluate _TMP before the trip points then HTS4 will
always be set, causing the firmware to generate a message on boot
complaining that the system shut down because of overheating. The simplest
solution is just to reverse the checking of trip points and _TMP in thermal
init.

The ACPI thermal management code supports slowing down a CPU when it's
overheating. Right now that's done by choosing to run it at 100%, 75%, 50%
or 25% of full speed. However, most CPUs do not allow an arbitrary
frequency to be set and so will run at the first frequency below that value.
This doesn't match the intent of the specification, which is to drop the
frequency state by state until the temperature stabalises. Fix this up
so it uses actual frequencies rather than percentages.
