Subject: ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.psv=" to override passive trip points
From: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx>
"thermal.psv=-1" disables passive trip points
for all ACPI thermal zones.
"thermal.psv=C", where 'C' is degrees Celsius,
overrides all existing passive trip points
for all ACPI thermal zones.
thermal.psv is checked at module load time,
and in response to trip-point change events.
Note that if the system does not deliver thermal zone
temperature change events near the new trip-point,
then it will not be noticed. To force your custom
trip point to be noticed, you may need to enable polling:
eg. thermal.tzp=3000 invokes polling every 5 minutes.
Note that once passive thermal throttling is invoked,
it has its own internal Thermal Sampling Period (_TSP),
that is unrelated to _TZP.
WARNING: disabling or raising a thermal trip point
may result in increased running temperature and
shorter hardware lifetime on some systems.

This updates the previous version of this patch
so that -1 disables _PSV (instead of 0),
and the user's Celsius value is properly converted
to Kelvin*10 for internal use.
