Disclaimer: I'm an end user that likes to cosplay as a kernel
developer sometimes...
IMO, it just looks scary. the skin-temp, afaik, is the temperature of
the shell of the laptop, so once it reaches 73C, it would be crit. In
practice (I've been testing this patch set for a while), I've never
been able to hit 73C, even with the ambient temperature in my
apartment being 77F and multiple compilations running. I've also
tested a hack to increase the trips to a little bit higher (65/68/73)
and still not been able to do so.
On the flip side, without this patchset, we do not have any thermal
trips at all, and the machine will quite happily run up to 90C (and
I've not seen it shut down, but I wouldn't use it on my lap when this
is occurring...)
