[ACPI-sppt] active cooling, amount of trippoints, specification

Hi,

please correct me if I am wrong:

At least the /proc interface only allows to modify two active cooling 
trippoints.
e.g. echo critical:hot:passive:active1:active2 
 >/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points

The ACPI specification (2.0b) specifies up to ten different trippoints 
for active cooling(p.284).

Is everything inside the kernel designed for only supporting two active 
cooling trippoints?
Is it going to change(specially the /proc/.../trip_points interface) to 
control the amount of active cooling
devices as mentioned in the specs?

Cheers,

        Thomas

P.S.: If already discussed, sorry I couldn't find it.
