Thinkpad's ACPI implementation has a knob for it, but AFAIK, that's restricted to thinkpads (and then probably some models). In that case, you could hook a script into it (powerdevil supports that). I'm not sure if adding a control somewhere in powerdevil is granted, since it's not offered on a lot of different models.
