Patch ready, a testing one was published in the ibm-acpi-devel ML, and I
have a proper one ready in the oven.

The X100e seems to export *NO* thermal sensors, BTW.  If they haven't moved
around in ecdump (I am counting on you, excellent thinkpad users, to find
out!), this is bad.  Either it is a way-too-cheap thinkpad (for my tastes),
or Lenovo wants to hide things under the hood.

At least now I am sure that 50°C on the battery temp is a marker for
something different in the thermal reading API.   Does the X100e report
battery temperature in Windows?
