i8k: make fan multiplier tunable with a module parameter
The i8k driver multiplies the fan speed reported by the BIOS with a factor of 30. On my Dell Latitude D800, this factor is not required. I'd suggest to make this configurable. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
