How to throttle on thermal events?

[wmertens]

It doesn't happen often, but sometimes when my laptop is really busy it will decide to shut down completely:

Nov 16 09:26:47 wmertens-nixos kernel: thermal thermal_zone3: critical temperature reached (80 C), shutting down

This is no fun obviously. Is there a way to have it instead throttle?

We have thermald enabled for a few models: https://wiki.debian.org/thermald
