22* uch_config: int Override the BIOS default universal channel (UCH)
23 configuration for channels 1-5.
24 Legal values are in the range of 0-31. Bit 0 maps to
25 UCH1, bit 1 maps to UCH2 and so on. Setting a bit to 1
26 enables the thermal input of that particular UCH and
27 setting a bit to 0 enables the voltage input.
28
29* int_mode: int Override the BIOS default temperature interrupt mode.
30 The only possible value is 0 which forces interrupt
31 mode 0. In this mode, any pending interrupt is cleared
32 when the status register is read but is regenerated as
33 long as the temperature stays above the hysteresis
34 limit.

36Be aware that overriding BIOS defaults might cause some unwanted side effects!
