ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.act=" to disable or override active trip point
thermal.act=-1 disables all active trip points
in all ACPI thermal zones.
thermal.act=C, where C > 0, overrides all lowest temperature
active trip points in all thermal zones to C degrees Celsius.
Raising this trip-point may allow you to keep your system silent
up to a higher temperature. However, it will not allow you to
raise the lowest temperature trip point above the next higher
trip point (if there is one). Lowering this trip point may
kick in the fan sooner.
Note that overriding this trip-point will disable any BIOS attempts
to implement hysteresis around the lowest temperature trip point.
This may result in the fan starting and stopping frequently
if temperature frequently crosses C.
WARNING: raising trip points above the manufacturer's defaults
may cause the system to run at higher temperature and shorten
its life.
