powerpc/powermac: Thermal control turns system off too eagerly
On certain PowerMacs, a module (therm_windtunnel) controls various
thermal settings (it can report CPU/case temperature, change speed
of internal fans, etc.)
By default, the hardware thermal control has a temperature limit to
protect the computer from damages (the default limit seems to be 80°C)
but therm_windtunnel.c reduces it to an anormaly low value (65°C),
which means that he computer will shut down randomly when hit by direct
sun light or during summer (summer in France can be quite hot), actually
possibly losing data instead of protecting it.
The overheat limit in therm_windtunnel.c:253-254 should be set to 75°C
and 70°C instead of 65°C and 60°C respectively.
