03a971a289 thermal: support forcing support for passive cooling
Due to poor thermal design or Linux driving hardware outside its thermal
envelope, some systems will reach critical temperature and shut down
under high load. This patch adds support for forcing a polling-based
passive trip point if the firmware doesn't provide one. The assumption
is made that the processor is the most practical means to reduce the
dynamic heat generation, so hitting the passive thermal limit will cause
the CPU to be throttled until the temperature stabalises around the
defined value.

UI is provided via a "passive" sysfs entry in the thermal zone
directory. It accepts a decimal value in millidegrees celsius, or "0" to
disable the functionality. Default behaviour is for this functionality
to be disabled.

b1569e99c7 ACPI: move thermal trip handling to generic thermal layer
The ACPI code currently carries its own thermal trip handling, meaning that
any other thermal implementation will need to reimplement it. Move the code
to the generic thermal layer.

6503e5df08 thermal: use integers rather than strings for thermal values
The thermal API currently uses strings to pass values to userspace. This
makes it difficult to use from within the kernel. Change the interface
to use integers and fix up the consumers.

16d7523973 thermal: Create CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=n
A bug in libsensors <= 2.10.6 is exposed
when this new hwmon I/F is enabled.
Create CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=n
until some time after libsensors 2.10.7 ships
so those users can run the latest kernel.

libsensors 3.x is already fixed -- those users
can use CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=y now.

63c4ec905d thermal: add the support for building the generic thermal as a module
Build the generic thermal driver as module "thermal_sys".

Make ACPI thermal, video, processor and fan SELECT the generic
thermal driver, as these drivers rely on it to build the sysfs I/F.

The THERMAL_MAX_TRIPS value is set to 10.  It is too few for the Compaq AP550
machine which has 12 trip points.
