This patch implements a fan control safety watchdog, by request of the
authors of userspace fan control scripts.
When the watchdog timer expires, the equivalent action of a "fan enable"
command is executed. The watchdog timer is reset at every reception of a
fan control command that could change the state of the fan itself.
This command is meant to be used by userspace fan control daemons, to make
sure the fan is never left set to an unsafe level because of userspace
problems.
Users of the X31/X40/X41 "speed" command are on their own, the current
implementation of "speed" is just too incomplete to be used safely,
anyway. Better to never use it, and just use the "level" command instead.
The watchdog is programmed using echo "watchdog <number>" > fan, where
number is the number of seconds to wait before doing an "enable", and zero
disables the watchdog.

This patch extend fan control functions, implementing enable/disable for
all write access modes, implementing level control for all level-capable
write access modes.
The patch also updates the documentation, explaining levels auto and
disengaged.
ABI changes:
1. Support level 0 as an equivalent to disable
2. Add support for level auto and level disengaged when doing
EC 0x2f fan control
3. Support enable/disable for all level-based write access modes
4. Add support for level command on FANS thinkpads, as per
thinkwiki reports

The A31 has a very atypical layout, so I separated its thermal sensors
location in a separate patch.

16 sensors
This patch extends ibm-acpi to support reading thermal sensors directly
through ACPI EC register access. It uses a DMI match to detect ThinkPads
with a new-style embedded controller, that are known to have forward-
compatible register maps and use 0x00 to fill in non-used registers and
export thermal sensors at EC offsets 0x78-7F and 0xC0-C7.
Direct ACPI EC register access is implemented for 8-sensor and 16-sensor
new-style ThinkPad controller firmwares as an experimental feature. The
code does some limited sanity checks on the temperatures read through EC
access, and will default to the old ACPI TMP0-7 mode if anything is amiss.
Userspace ABI is not changed for 8 sensors, but /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal is
extended for 16 sensors if the firmware supports 16 sensors.
A documentation update is also provided.
The information about the ThinkPad register map was determined by studying
ibm-acpi "ecdump" output from various ThinkPad models, submitted by
subscribers of the linux-thinkpad mailinglist. Futher information was
gathered from the DSDT tables, as they describe the EC register map in
recent ThinkPads.
DSDT source shows that TMP0-7 access and direct register access are
actually the same thing on these firmwares, but unfortunately IBM never
did update their DSDT EC register map to export TMP8-TMP15 for the second
range of sensors.

As this module is now part of the kernel tree, there is no need
for instructions on how to download it and build an external module.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
