Maybe... I've seen the IME driver in staging, so I guess Intel is
planning to do something with it.
I don't know if it's already usable though.

No idea; older versions did use ACPI (my not-so-old M5A still has the
ATK interface and the windows tool uses it).
You could entertain yourself with a disassembler ;-)

I don't think it's WMI based, maybe they just access the sensor
directly; if e.g. they know that the notification method (_L16) is
never called after the boot then it's safe to do it.
