IIRC, fan control has not worked since the days of the T61. Newer BIOS end
EC don't seem to work. The "ACPI Exception: AE_BAD_ADDRESS" has shown up on
various systems for a while.It's reportedly harmless. Brightness is finally
working on most or all. Thermal should show up in hw.acpi and dev.cpu.

I don't have any experience on S series systems, only X and T, but I
suspect the ACPI is similar.
