I wonder what we can do to get this added to the ACPI spec or to make
vendors use the same function for this.
What about trying for above "REGN" as it already exists on HPs.
Also try for _NAM (or similar), document that we do this and tell vendors
that it's a good thing to provide a sane string/name for thermal_zones on
Linux.
On ACPI everything that does not start with "_" means unspecified
and the function should only be used internally and not by the OS...
