Hello,
I spent my day reverse-engineering AppleSMC.kext driver on Mac OS X
(10.4.8), and here are my conclusions:
- Only a few keys are written on startup. I'm almost sure these keys
are kept as-is after a reboot, none of them seem to have a huge impact
on the power consumption.
- OS X does NOT take control over the fans.
List of keys written by OS X, during boot-up (no keys are written once
the system has booted, except the key corresponding to the keyboard
backlight):
NTOK (0x4e544f4b) - [1-ui8 ] ==> Wrote 0x01

I also found a way to list all the keys supported by the SMC controller
(with some comments):

I still have to find out how to catch motion sensor interrupts, but, as
long as it concerns heat problems, the solution has to be found
somewhere else...
