[PATCH] acerhdf: Acer Aspire One fan control
From: Peter Feuerer

Ok, yup, that should be safe. It might be nice to implement this as an
hwmon driver, potentially tying it into the thermal layer.
Here is a patch which adds the "acerhdf" module to the kernel. It is now
tied into the thermal layer.
The module creates a cooling device and a thermal zone. Both can be
accessed through /sys/class/thermal/*. The module can be ran either in
"kernel mode" in which a kernelthread to monitor the temperature and control
the fan is started. Or it can be ran in "user mode" in which an
userspace application can handle the fan control.
What do you think about this piece of code?
kind regards and thanks for all your comments!

+ * 06-February-2009: Version 0.1:
+ * - first relase, containing absolutely no bugs! ;)
+ *
+ * 06-February-2009: Version 0.1.1:
+ * - found first bug :-) - it didn't check the bios vendor
+ * - check if the bios vendor is Acer
+ * - added bios 3301
+ *
+ * 06-February-2009: Version 0.1.2:
+ * - added fork for deamon mode, now a real daemon is spawned
+ * - added device vendor "INSYDE"
+ *
+ * 13-February-2009: Version 0.2:
+ * - ported to kernelspace
+ *
+ * 19-February-2009: Version 0.2.1:
+ * - added Bios Version 3308
+ * - cleaned up the includes
+ *
+ * 21-February-2009: Version 0.2.2:
+ * - changed settings for Bios 3309 as old settings caused lock ups
+ * - thanks to Frank Reimann
+ *
+ * 21-February-2009: Version 0.2.2-2:
+ * - added linux/sched.h to includes again, as it won't compile for
+ * kernel < 2.6.28 without it.
+ *
+ * 23-February-2009: Version 0.3:
+ * - tied to termal layer
+ * - added parameters to /sys/modules/acerhdf/parameters/
+ *
+ * 25-February-2009: Version 0.3.1:
+ * - fixed starting the module in user mode when force_bios param
+ * is given
