ACPI: Reject below-freezing temperatures as invalid critical temperatures
My laptop thinks that it's a good idea to give -73C as the critical CPU temperature.... which isn't the best thing since it causes a shutdown right at bootup. Temperatures below freezing are clearly invalid critical thresholds so just reject these as such.
