Improved G4 Windtunnel fan control

On Vine Linux on PowerMac G4 Dual (Mirrored Drive Doors), I wrote:

さぞかし排気やファンの音がうるさいんだろう,と覚悟していたのですが,意外や意外,充分静かでした.
However, this machine is rather silent enough against my expectation

全くのウソでした... こいつごっつうるさいわ.

It was just my misunderstanding... I found this machine pretty noisy!

で,drivers/macintosh/therm_windtunnel.c なるドライバの存在に気付く:

After a while, I noticed the driver drivers/macintosh/therm_windtunnel.c:





    * The G4 "windtunnel" has a single fan controlled by an
    * ADM1030 fan controller and a DS1775 thermostat.
    *
    * The fan controller is equipped with a temperature sensor
    * which measures the case temperature. The DS1775 sensor
    * measures the CPU temperature. This driver tunes the
    * behavior of the fan. It is based upon empirical observations
    * of the 'AppleFan' driver under Mac OS X.
    * WARNING: This driver has only been testen on Apple's
    * 1.25 MHz Dual G4 (March 03). It is tuned for a CPU
    * temperatur around 57 C.
