Hello all.
Here is a patch that allows for me to work on other things. :) Basically,
it makes OS choose fan mode instead of firmware. Main feature here is
enabling of "disengadged" mode when temperature goes critical, picking
80C as a "red line". Now I can fully load CPU on my X201i -
say, "make -j 4" - and it still works instead of being powering off by
acpitz(4).
User space will not be allowed to play. I don't have a stinkpad so I
can't test this but I do encourage people to play with this diff and
report to the list.
My thinkpad is AMD-powered, so 60 degrees is *normal* for it. With this
diff the fan is always running at max speed, generating lots of noise.
I think the THINKPAD_FANMODE_MAX part could be left out. The normal
automatic should be able to set maximum speed at a model specific
appropriate temperature. The important part is the disengaged mode,
because the automatic regulation of the firmware is not able to set this
mode.
