+* uch_config: int      Override the BIOS default universal channel (UCH)
+                       configuration for channels 1-5.
+                       Legal values are in the range of 0-31. Bit 0 maps to
+                       UCH1, bit 1 maps to UCH2 and so on. Setting a bit to 1
+                       enables the thermal input of that particular UCH and
+                       setting a bit to 0 enables the voltage input.
+
+* int_mode: int                Override the BIOS default temperature
interrupt mode.
+                       The only possible value is 0 which forces interrupt
+                       mode 0. In this mode, any pending interrupt is cleared
+                       when the status register is read but is regenerated as
+                       long as the temperature stays above the hysteresis
+                       limit.
