Thanks for adding support for this but it should be noted that this can
be very dangerous. If your userland app tries to control the fanspeed
and dies, your system could overheat. Hopefully, the BIOS will override
the user settings if the temp gets too high but that is a longshot when
mucking with things at this low level.
