[Devel] [PATCH] macintosh/therm_pm72.c: Convert to kthread API.

[Eric W. Biederman]

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm at xmission.com>

This patch modifies startup of the kfand to use kthread_run
not a combination of kernel_thread and daemonize, making
the code a little simpler and more maintaintable.
