@Jamie -- ok according to upstream this thinkpad-acpi driver is
essentially unchanged, and the fans really should be controlled by the
EC in the defualt mode. There is no logical reason to expect this
change in behaviour. We are going to have to try and narrow down where
this change has come from. Could you test some of the mainline kerenls,
specifically including the v2.6.35 and v2.6.38 kernels to see if they
are good and bad respectivly, and then could you use a few of the
intermediate releases and -rcs to narrow our search. Mainline kernels
can be found at the URL below. Please report any testing here:

Thanks!
