This is just a heads-up to let folks know that I've committed some early 
code to handle thermal management under ACPI.  This should DTRT with 
active cooling (fans, etc.).  It won't help with passive cooling yet (we 
need to sort out the processor device control first), and it may well 
have problems (there are places where the specification is vague about 
what should be in the namespace and my ability to test these options is 
limited).

Testing and feedback would be welcome.  I'll try to get the new ACPI CA 
stuff merged tomorrow, unless there are too many people bugging me at 
Usenix. 8)

Regards,
Mike
