In 2.9.0, bmcsensors.c won't compile because of an
undefined symbol:
gcc -D__SMP__ -DMODVERSIONS -include

I fixed this by inserting a line in bmcsensors_select_threshold
to pull "m" out of the sd struct; beats me if that is correct:
static void bmcsensors_select_thresholds(struct sdrdata * sd)
{
+ long m = sd->m;
u8 capab = sd->capab;
u16 mask = sd->thresh_mask;
but this is making me if I'm doing something wrong -- why
would the most recent release have a fatal compile problem
for over 3 months?
