Now what? Yes it is. 2.6.25.7 works and 2.6.26-rcX with the same config 
options and the same userspace does not. What do you think ABI breakage 
is? It's not relevant that you feel/know that the lm_sensors userspace 
has a bug; it used to work, it's widely installed and the new kernel 
side code however conceptually correct breaks those setups.

be working for me.
