ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.crt=C" bootparam
Some hardware will malfunction at a temperature below the BIOS provided critical shutdown threshold. This hook allows moving the critical trip points down to a temperature which provokes a graceful shutdown before the hardware malfunction. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8884 WARNING: A trip-point override will not get noticed until the system delivers a temperature change event, or unless thermal zone polling is enabled. eg. "thermal.tzp=10" Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
