From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
My laptop thinks that it's a good idea to give -73C as the critical
CPU temperature.... which isn't the best thing since it causes a shutdown
right at bootup.
Temperatures below freezing are clearly invalid critical thresholds
so just reject these as such.
