emc6d100 lm-sensors tyan 2865 nForce4 chip set

[Karl Schmidt <karl@xtronics.com>]

Running Sarge with the 2.6.8-11-amd64-k8 kernel and I get

kernel: lm85: Unknown parameter `force_emc6d100'

Tyan provides a lm-sensors config so I think it is working with other Linux 
distributions/versions.

From the config file
> #######
> #    Sensors configuration file used by 'libsensors' for Tyan S2865
> #
> #  To support NFORCE4 SMBus controller, version 2.9.1 

<snip>

> #  To your /etc/modules.conf file, add the lines:
> #     alias char-major-89 i2c-dev

> #  To your /etc/rc.xxx files, add the lines:
> #     modprobe i2c-nforce2
> #     modprobe lm85 force_emc6d100=0,0x2e
> #     sensors -s

> # As LM-Sensors not support the SMSC DME1737 Chip, I use the SMSC 
> # EMC6D100 chip to instead of it and the sensor 3.3V StandBy and 
> # Battery Volt cannot be monitored.
