We do, unless we decide to emulate ACPI-style zones to hide that. Thinkpads have at least two types *always*, for example. EC ones, and the ACPI ones... and there is some variable overlap between them. And there are at least four devices related to the thermal control (CPU, GPU, gig-E, fan), of which one (fan) is systemic and works for all zones. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
