thermal.act=-1 disables all active trip points
in all ACPI thermal zones.
thermal.act=C, where C > 0, overrides all first active trip points
in all thermal zones to C degrees Celcius.
Note, overriding this trip-point will disable any BIOS attempts
to implement hysterisis around AC0, and may result in the fan
starting and stopping frequently if temperature frequently crosses C.
