Description
-----------
-This driver permits reading temperature sensor(s) embedded inside AMD K8 CPUs.
-Official documentation says that it works from revision F of K8 core, but
-in fact it seems to be implemented for all revisions of K8 except the first
-two revisions (SH-B0 and SH-B3).
+This driver permits reading temperature sensor(s) embedded inside AMD K8

+Please note that you will need at least lm-sensors 2.10.1 for proper userspace

There can be up to four temperature sensors inside single CPU. The driver
will auto-detect the sensors and will display only temperatures from
