Aaaha, ok, your thermal interrupt is an SMI. No wonder with HP. So this
is becoming weirder by the minute...

Ok, let's look at what it does at init time. Please remove the previous
diff, apply the below one on 5.12, make sure you have

CONFIG_X86_THERMAL_VECTOR=y

in the .config, boot with the aforementioned cmdline params, catch dmesg
and send it again.

Thx.
