The thermal diode on the Pentium III processors has been replaced by an SMBus device to monitor and convert the diode to degrees C in the Pentium 4 (Xeon) processors. This Thermal Sensors is documented in the processor datasheet and I have written a driver to report the temperature, high and low limits, and the conversion rate. I had to hack the i2c-i801 driver to recognize the intel 7500 xx801CA chip. I think that fix might already be in the mainline sources. I have assigned myself a "production" ID in i2c-ids.h. If that ID has already been assigned, please assign me a new one and I'll redo the patch. (Didn't read doc/writing-drivers until after I'd finished...) I don't have the chips.c file that goes into 'sensors', so I haven't been able to add the 'temp', 'temp_over', and 'temp_hyst' parameters to sensors and sensors.conf. Please let me know what I need to do to submit this patch to the main-line lm-sensors code.
