Btw, did anyone check whether the lm_sensors 2.8 userspace works with
the 2.7 kernel modules? I can remember any changes to the kernel
modules (before the switch to sysfs in 2.6) that would break newer
userland with older kernel modules. And I remember doing it the other
way around quite a few times (installed a self-compiled kernel with new
sensors drivers but not touching userland at all), but that's already
ages ago.
