Can we get this one reverted? Some machines (HP omnibook xe3) have broken trip points -- too high -- so machine will overheat and trigger hw shutdown before starting passive cooling. That's really broken, and write to trip points is reasonable way to 'fix' that. (I'd understand if you only ever let trip points to decrease... but otoh root should be able to shoot himself....)
