I tested your patch with value 0x20 on my machine ("AOA110" product, "v0.3309" version).
The fan was freaking out and spinning high like a helicopter.

I think we have to distinguish between the BIOS products too. Here a patch, please have a look at it and test it.

cheers,
peter

Peter:
o Applied Borislav Petkov's patch
o Added BIOS product to BIOS table as AOA110 and AOA150 have
different register values
o Added force_product parameter to allow forcing different
product
o Fixed linker warning caused by "acerhdf_drv" not being named
"acerhdf_driver"
o Added Packard Bell DOA150 BIOS settings
