I'm trying to work out what the actual bug is in here.

afacit some KDE tool put wrong numbers into /proc files, acpi didn't
sanity check them sufficiently and permitted the CPU to overheat, yes?

There seems to be rather a lot of non-bugfix stuff in this patch
series. Perhaps too much for 2.6.32, and a real problem if we want to
backport something into 2.6.31.x and earlier.

Yeah, the discussion settled down just as the merge window openend,
and this isn't high risk, so in retrospect I should have pushed
it into 2.6.32.

I'll push the documentation update to 2.6.32.

I'll push the tweaks to 2.6.33.
I don't expec that this will need to be back-ported
as only advanced users who also have this BIOS bug will be messing
around setting their own custom passive trip point in the first place.

thanks,
