ACPI: ibm-acpi: fix and extend fan control functions

This patch extend fan control functions, implementing enable/disable for
all write access modes, implementing level control for all level-capable
write access modes.

The patch also updates the documentation, explaining levels auto and
disengaged.

ABI changes:
	1. Support level 0 as an equivalent to disable
	2. Add support for level auto and level disengaged when doing
	   EC 0x2f fan control
	3. Support enable/disable for all level-based write access modes
	4. Add support for level command on FANS thinkpads, as per
	   thinkwiki reports

+This feature attempts to show the current fan speed, control mode and
+other fan data that might be available.  The speed is read directly

+Most ThinkPad fans work in "levels".  Level 0 stops the fan.  The higher
+the level, the higher the fan speed, although adjacent levels often map
+to the same fan speed.  7 is the highest level, where the fan reaches
+the maximum recommended speed.  Level "auto" means the EC changes the
+fan level according to some internal algorithm, usually based on
+readings from the thermal sensors.  Level "disengaged" means the EC
+disables the speed-locked closed-loop fan control, and drives the fan as
+fast as it can go, which might exceed hardware limits, so use this level
+with caution.
+
+The fan usually ramps up or down slowly from one speed to another,
+and it is normal for the EC to take several seconds to react to fan
+commands.
 
 The fan may be enabled or disabled with the following commands:
 
 	echo enable  >/proc/acpi/ibm/fan
 	echo disable >/proc/acpi/ibm/fan
 
+Placing a fan on level 0 is the same as disabling it.  Enabling a fan
+will try to place it in a safe level if it is too slow or disabled.

+An enabled fan in level "auto" may stop spinning if the EC decides the
+ThinkPad is cool enough and doesn't need the extra airflow.  This is
+normal, and the EC will spin the fan up if the varios thermal readings

+On the X40, this seems to depend on the CPU and HDD temperatures.
+Specifically, the fan is turned on when either the CPU temperature
