Thermal control for PowerMac 8,2 and new snd module already included in the kernel?

[Eduardo Trápani <mapache@debian.org>]

I remember I had to patch 2.6.16-rc1 with a Ben patch to get the thermal control running.  But the sound was broken and hung the computer.

So, I'd like to know if I have to apply any patches to the latest available kernel in order to get both the thermal control and avoid the system hang when trying to access the sound module.
