ACPI: ibm-acpi: implement fan watchdog command
This patch implements a fan control safety watchdog, by request of the authors of userspace fan control scripts. When the watchdog timer expires, the equivalent action of a "fan enable" command is executed. The watchdog timer is reset at every reception of a fan control command that could change the state of the fan itself. This command is meant to be used by userspace fan control daemons, to make sure the fan is never left set to an unsafe level because of userspace problems. Users of the X31/X40/X41 "speed" command are on their own, the current implementation of "speed" is just too incomplete to be used safely, anyway. Better to never use it, and just use the "level" command instead. The watchdog is programmed using echo "watchdog <number>" > fan, where number is the number of seconds to wait before doing an "enable", and zero disables the watchdog.

modprobe ibm_acpi hotkey=enable,0xffff video=auto_disable
+The ibm-acpi kernel driver can be programmed to revert the fan level
+to a safe setting if userspace does not issue one of the fan commands:
+"enable", "disable", "level" or "watchdog" within a configurable
+ammount of time. To do this, use the "watchdog" command.
+
+ echo 'watchdog <interval>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
+
+Interval is the ammount of time in seconds to wait for one of the
+above mentioned fan commands before reseting the fan level to a safe
+one. If set to zero, the watchdog is disabled (default). When the
+watchdog timer runs out, it does the exact equivalent of the "enable"
+fan command.
+
+Note that the watchdog timer stops after it enables the fan. It will
+be rearmed again automatically (using the same interval) when one of
+the above mentioned fan commands is received. The fan watchdog is,
+therefore, not suitable to protect against fan mode changes made
+through means other than the "enable", "disable", and "level" fan
+commands.
