Disable BIOS fan control on such laptops at module loading, and re-enable it at module unloading, so that a userspace controller like i8kmon can take control of the fan.
The code as written appears to make the disabling unconditional, which means that if a userspace controller *isn't* started things will get toasty really fast. Probably need a module parameter or something to control that.
