A possibly dangerous workaround for this bug is add the boot option
"thermal.off=1" to the grub menu entry for the affected kernel.

With the thermal module disabled the system could possibly run hotter,
according to Len Brown, who implemented the feature
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/14/48). Use with caution.

It looks like there is also a patch that would make the trip points writable
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1215301/), but I haven't messed with that
at all. Not sure if it has actually been included in any recent kernels. In
theory, however, if they were writable one could just modify the
trip_point_1_temp file to include the correct temperature, although this might
have to be done at every boot, right?

How can we get the kernel to automatically set the thermal trip points
correctly for this hardware? 

It may just be that the zone 1 trip point isn't detected correctly, which is
why the zone 1 trip points didn't even exist in the unaffected kernels. Perhaps
it could write a "safe" value if the detection fails? Anything is better than
'0'.
