thinkpad-acpi will regard 128 and -128 as invalid sensors, because that's
how they are used in some BIOSes (and ECs).  We used to bother only with
-128, but Lenovo did something wierd in one of the EC firmwares and I had to
add +128 too.  That masks the "help, I am melting" reading.

I have noted that in my TODO, let's see if I can make that into a quirk so
that you won't get -EINVAL anymore.
