As others, my dmesg gets spammed by:

---
kernel: [289071.533288] thinkpad_acpi: unknown possible thermal alarm or keyboard event received
kernel: [289071.533291] thinkpad_acpi: unhandled HKEY event 0x60b0
kernel: [289071.533292] thinkpad_acpi: please report the conditions when this event happened to ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net kernel: [289091.209327] thinkpad_acpi: unknown possible thermal alarm or keyboard event received
kernel: [289091.209332] thinkpad_acpi: unhandled HKEY event 0x60b1
kernel: [289091.209334] thinkpad_acpi: please report the conditions when this event happened to ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net

It appears to me that placing my palm or a finger on the right side of the right palmrest (just below right arrow key) will trigger 0x60b0, and removing my palm from the rest will trigger 0x60b1 after a few seconds. I can trigger the 0x60b0 without touching the surface, hovering just above the surface.

Some kind of palm detection perhaps?
Is there a way to ignore the two events (until better supported)?
