acpi_evaluate_integer() doesn't show up in the trace, though, AFAICS.

Which probably is the case.  Specifically

acpi_ev_asynch_execute_gpe_method: Evaluate _L66

is likely to cause the Notify() to be dispatched.

That might help a bit.

So what probably happens is that poking at the TZ causes a GPE to
trigger and a Notify() to be dispatched which then goes into the
workqueue for execution.

Now, I'm not sure what happens to those Notify() items, though.  They
each should cause a handler (in the thermal driver) to be executed,
but does that happen?
