When I run 2.6.21-rc5 + Andi's x86 patches + paravirt_ops patches, I've been getting my machine shut down with critical thermal shutdown messages:

Mar 30 23:19:03 localhost kernel: ACPI: Critical trip point
Mar 30 23:19:03 localhost kernel: Critical temperature reached (128 C), shutting down. Mar 30 23:19:03 localhost kernel: Critical temperature reached (128 C), shutting down. Mar 30 23:19:03 localhost shutdown[19417]: shutting down for system halt

and the machine does feel pretty hot. Interestingly, when the machine reboots, the fan spins up to a noticeably higher speed, so it seems that maybe something is getting fan speed control wrong.

Well, 128C is more than hot enough to boil water and well above the thermal tolerances of most CPUs, so I would imagine that were your CPU actually that hot it wouldn't be capable of printing the "Critical temperature reached" messages, let alone properly rebooting.
