-This driver permits reading temperature sensor(s) embedded inside AMD K8 CPUs.
-Official documentation says that it works from revision F of K8 core, but

 There can be up to four temperature sensors inside single CPU. The driver
 will auto-detect the sensors and will display only temperatures from
