_TMP indirectly tries (and fails) to access HSTS field which is in the 
reserved region. Furthermore, the loop in the HBSY method that gets 
referenced keeps kacpid very busy during (possibly) thermal interrupt 
handling, thus increasing the system load and temperature, and in turn, 
the frequency of thermal notifies.
