Another of those "just so I find my own post the next time I'm looking for this" things...
After the replacing the CPU fan on an old Intel D945GCLF2 Atom board, I "optimized" the BIOS settings by enabling automatic fan control (instead of having the fan at a fixed speed).
Currently, I have lots of messages like this in my kernel log, and a kworker thread using 100% CPU:
So, an hour or so of searching later, I finally hit this comment on the Novell bugzilla (cache) - and then I promptly remembered that I used to have known about this problem, and that it was exactly the reason why the fan was set to a fixed speed:

In BIOS I have DISABLED auto fan speed. It is now set at 90%. It seems to have fixed it
