+This feature attempts to show the current fan speed, control mode and
+other fan data that might be available.  The speed is read directly
+from the hardware registers of the embedded controller.  This is known
+to work on later R, T and X series ThinkPads but may show a bogus
+value on other models.
+
+Most ThinkPad fans work in "levels".  Level 0 stops the fan.  The higher
+the level, the higher the fan speed, although adjacent levels often map
+to the same fan speed.  7 is the highest level, where the fan reaches
+the maximum recommended speed.  Level "auto" means the EC changes the
+fan level according to some internal algorithm, usually based on
+readings from the thermal sensors.  Level "disengaged" means the EC
+disables the speed-locked closed-loop fan control, and drives the fan as
+fast as it can go, which might exceed hardware limits, so use this level
+with caution.
+
+The fan usually ramps up or down slowly from one speed to another,
+and it is normal for the EC to take several seconds to react to fan
+commands.
 
 The fan may be enabled or disabled with the following commands:
 
         echo enable  >/proc/acpi/ibm/fan
         echo disable >/proc/acpi/ibm/fan
 
+Placing a fan on level 0 is the same as disabling it.  Enabling a fan
+will try to place it in a safe level if it is too slow or disabled.

+An enabled fan in level "auto" may stop spinning if the EC decides the

+The ibm-acpi kernel driver can be programmed to revert the fan level
+to a safe setting if userspace does not issue one of the fan commands:
+"enable", "disable", "level" or "watchdog" within a configurable
+ammount of time.  To do this, use the "watchdog" command.

+Interval is the ammount of time in seconds to wait for one of the
+above mentioned fan commands before reseting the fan level to a safe
+one.  If set to zero, the watchdog is disabled (default).  When the
+watchdog timer runs out, it does the exact equivalent of the "enable"
+fan command.
+
+Note that the watchdog timer stops after it enables the fan.  It will
+be rearmed again automatically (using the same interval) when one of
+the above mentioned fan commands is received.  The fan watchdog is,
+therefore, not suitable to protect against fan mode changes made

+ * IBMACPI_FAN_WR_TPEC:
+ *      ThinkPad EC register 0x2f (HFSP): fan control loop mode Supported
+ *      on almost all ThinkPads
+ *
+ *      Fan speed changes of any sort (including those caused by the
+ *      disengaged mode) are usually done slowly by the firmware as the
+ *      maximum ammount of fan duty cycle change per second seems to be
+ *      limited.
+ *
+ *      Reading is not available if GFAN exists.
+ *      Writing is not available if SFAN exists.
+ *
+ *      Bits
+ *       7      automatic mode engaged;
+ *              (default operation mode of the ThinkPad)
+ *              fan level is ignored in this mode.
+ *       6      disengage mode (takes precedence over bit 7);
+ *              not available on all thinkpads.  May disable
+ *              the tachometer, and speeds up fan to 100% duty-cycle,
+ *              which speeds it up far above the standard RPM
+ *              levels.  It is not impossible that it could cause
+ *              hardware damage.
+ *      5-3     unused in some models.  Extra bits for fan level
+ *              in others, but still useless as all values above
+ *              7 map to the same speed as level 7 in these models.
+ *      2-0     fan level (0..7 usually)
+ *                      0x00 = stop
+ *                      0x07 = max (set when temperatures critical)
+ *              Some ThinkPads may have other levels, see
+ *              IBMACPI_FAN_WR_ACPI_FANS (X31/X40/X41)
+ *
+ *      FIRMWARE BUG: on some models, EC 0x2f might not be initialized at
+ *      boot. Apparently the EC does not intialize it, so unless ACPI DSDT
+ *      does so, its initial value is meaningless (0x07).
+ *
+ *      For firmware bugs, refer to:
+ *      http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Embedded_Controller_Firmware#Firmware_Issues
+ *
+ *      ----
+ *
+ *      ThinkPad EC register 0x84 (LSB), 0x85 (MSB):
+ *      Main fan tachometer reading (in RPM)
+ *
+ *      This register is present on all ThinkPads with a new-style EC, and
+ *      it is known not to be present on the A21m/e, and T22, as there is
+ *      something else in offset 0x84 according to the ACPI DSDT.  Other
+ *      ThinkPads from this same time period (and earlier) probably lack the
+ *      tachometer as well.
+ *
+ *      Unfortunately a lot of ThinkPads with new-style ECs but whose firwmare
+ *      was never fixed by IBM to report the EC firmware version string
+ *      probably support the tachometer (like the early X models), so
+ *      detecting it is quite hard.  We need more data to know for sure.
+ *
+ *      FIRMWARE BUG: always read 0x84 first, otherwise incorrect readings
+ *      might result.
+ *
+ *      FIRMWARE BUG: when EC 0x2f bit 6 is set (disengaged mode), this
+ *      register is not invalidated in ThinkPads that disable tachometer
+ *      readings.  Thus, the tachometer readings go stale.
+ *
+ *      For firmware bugs, refer to:
+ *      http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Embedded_Controller_Firmware#Firmware_Issues
+ *
+ * IBMACPI_FAN_WR_ACPI_FANS:
+ *      ThinkPad X31, X40, X41.  Not available in the X60.
+ *
+ *      FANS ACPI handle: takes three arguments: low speed, medium speed,
+ *      high speed.  ACPI DSDT seems to map these three speeds to levels
+ *      as follows: STOP LOW LOW MED MED HIGH HIGH HIGH HIGH
+ *      (this map is stored on FAN0..FAN8 as "0,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3")
+ *
+ *      The speeds are stored on handles
+ *      (FANA:FAN9), (FANC:FANB), (FANE:FAND).
+ *
+ *      There are three default speed sets, acessible as handles:
+ *      FS1L,FS1M,FS1H; FS2L,FS2M,FS2H; FS3L,FS3M,FS3H
+ *
+ *      ACPI DSDT switches which set is in use depending on various
+ *      factors.
+ *
+ *      IBMACPI_FAN_WR_TPEC is also available and should be used to
+ *      command the fan.  The X31/X40/X41 seems to have 8 fan levels,
+ *      but the ACPI tables just mention level 7.
