Two-fan thinkpads are rare enough that we can use a quirk list for now.
This thing needs to be whitelist-based anyway, as it is a direct-write-to-EC
feature, so we can only enable it by default on tested models.

X60/X61 actually changes which fan is being controlled on the P50?

I wonder if it actually worked that way on the X60/X61...  I don't recall if
we tested that at the time.

Is anyone with a X60 or X61 around that could test it?

Otherwise, we can simply add a new quirk for second-fan-control-ok, and
enable second-fan control only for the P50, and not for the X60/X61.

Now we just need someone with the original adaptive keyboard (I understand
the P50 doesn't have it) to help, but let's keep HKEY 0x200-related stuff on
its own thread.
