[ltp] [PATCH] New ibm-acpi patches for extended thermal sensor functionality

[Shem Multinymous]

Hi Henrique,

I didn't actually run it yet, but your ibm_acpi patch looks good. I
would slightly prefer to always read the first 8 sensors via ACPI TMPi
(like the current patch in ThinkWiki), but your way is OK too.

The patches I've sent were ignored.

I've been closely watching users' reports for both tp-fancontrol and
the Windows equivalent by Shimodax, and as well as I can tell, this is
the only bug that was ever found.
