Hi Peter,

This patch series is intended to:

* Introduce "manual mode" support (Patch 1 & 2), which is needed to control
the fan of a few new models.

* Add an appropriate thermal governor (Patch 3 & 4). Manipulating and
fiddling around with the step-wise governor has been a very fragile thing
in the past and as it broke again, I used the opportunity to add a two
point thermal governor which implements the actual fan handling required by
acerhdf and puts from my point of view things straight.

* Do some minor clean up like:
- adding second trip point for critical temperature (Patch 5)
- removing _t suffix from struct which isn't typedef and replace unsigned
char by u8 (Patch 6)

so what's the state of those?

In the meantime I noticed the breakage here too, after updating the
kernel on the aspire one - the fan remains on.

Do you have a latest version which is ready for testing or should I take
those?

I'll send out new set of patches by Sunday latestly, but you could of course start testing with version3 of the patchset, as I just planned to do minor fixes anyhow.
