Well, I'd call that "work around hardware problems in broken HP laptops".

Yes, it is quite nasty problem, but: 1) Fix is non-trivial (>100 lines, which violates -stable rule IIRC) 2) Fix is very disconnected from the problem. "Deinitialize mouse so that fans work after reboot". WTF? 3) AFAICT it is not a regression.
