acpitz: fan sensor
Hi!
Although ACPI Specification defines an ACPI device
for FANs, BIOS vendors and OEMs do their own thing.
By reading the ACPI dump I figured out that my
HP Pavillion dv9700 laptop features a fan sensor
in the ACPI Thermal Zone which is beyond of the ACPI
Spec.
This patch implements support for the fan sensor
including the limits:

W/o my patch, envstat shows
