No, the problem we discussed here is not a regression.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10658
And the patch just works for the laptops that:
1. without passive trip point
2. with a passive trip point that doesn't help because it is too close
to the critical trip point.

And it's true that there is a thermal regression reported recently,
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11281
but IMO, that's another problem and we have not root caused yet.
