Ok, it is not thinkpad-acpi messing with your fan (at least not
directly).  Please check the cooling devices registered in ACPI, and
ensure the ACPI "fan" module was loaded.

The cooling devices are likely at:
/sys/devices/virtual/thermal

Check what is in there.  Anything that can be switched on or off to cool
the system can be a cooling_device, so both fans (switch on to cool),
and GPU (switch to low power mode) could be "cooling" devices...

My guess, so far, is that you will need to ask for help in the main
kernel mailing list.

Also, we may need to check your ACPI's DSDT and XSDT, but let's try
ensuring the "fan" module/ACPI driver is loaded, first.
