I recently built a new sandybridge system and was surprised to find that I had to manually load the coretemp and pkgtemp modules to monitor the cpu temperature. My last few systems have been AMD where the k8temp module is automatically loaded. It seems k8temp has a modalias that gets it loaded on the correct hardware, but coretemp and pkgtemp have no alias. Why is this, and how can I construct a proper alias to get the intel modules to auto load?
I think the difference is that on AMD the temperature monitoring is done through a virtual PCI device that we can make a modalias for, but coretemp support is based on CPUID and I don't think there's a way to construct a modalias for that.
