 All Sysfs entries are named with their core_id (represented here by 'X').
 tempX_input      - Core temperature (in millidegrees Celsius).
 tempX_max        - All cooling devices should be turned on (on Core2).

+tempX_max_hyst   - If the CPU temperature falls below than temperature,
+                   an interrupt is generated and tempX_max_alarm is reset.
+tempX_max_alarm  - Set if the temperature reaches or exceeds tempX_max.

 tempX_crit       - Maximum junction temperature (in millidegrees Celsius).
 tempX_crit_alarm - Set when Out-of-spec bit is set, never clears.
