This came in in OpenSUSE 10.3. When we still had overriden thermal polling

As no other solution has been found meanwhile and it seems Windows is also
using a virtual passive trip point:
Ok that would be good evidence.

The hardcoded temperature numbers make me a little uneasy. Also 85 - 150
is potentially negative, which is probably not good?
