Hi,
a few people prefered to make coretemp(4) a real autoconf(9) driver
rather than an option, I've heard complaints about options being
unhelpful for LKMs for example.
Currently we do have "options INTEL_CORETEMP" and registers a driver
per struct cpu_info pointer via identcpu.
I've implemented "coretemp* at cpu?". Do we want to use this approach
rather than an option?
IMHO it's more logical to me to attach coretemp(4) at cpu, because there's
a sensor per cpu.
