I'm trying to work out what the actual bug is in here.

afacit some KDE tool put wrong numbers into /proc files, acpi didn't
sanity check them sufficiently and permitted the CPU to overheat, yes?

There seems to be rather a lot of non-bugfix stuff in this patch
series.  Perhaps too much for 2.6.32, and a real problem if we want to
backport something into 2.6.31.x and earlier.
