[ltp] Fan noise fix

[Charles Gillet]

I'm starting to wonder whether some folks' temperature readings are 
completely accurate.  I just saw someone post a temp of 73C.  I would 
imagine components getting faulty and loose with such dramatic 
temperature swings.  Granted that mobile processors are different, the 
last time I built a desktop, I remember having problems with crappy 
heatsinks, and the CPU temp alarms barking at around 60C.

Regarding not being able to compile ... with cpuspeed+ACPI you could. 
It would take your CPU down to 600 until it cools off then speed it up 
again and back down again ... etc, but you'd get your kernel.  I just 
checked the cpudyn page, and it looks like it doesn't care about apm or 
acpi, only cpufreq support, can handle spinning down disks, but has no 
way to monitor temp to keep your laptop from overheating.
