Henrique de Moraes Holschuh 16663a87ad 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.
