John, thanks for your tip. No Apple has not released the source for its low level thermal management drivers (AFAIK at least). It seems it's because the thermal management is a "sensitive" competitive feature [1]. The only things I could find so far are some high level notes of the SMU on Apple's site [2], but I might not have searched enough :-).
