IMHO this makes sense. The user just needs to switch on
CONFIG_SENSORS_K8TEMP on a system with newer AMD CPUs (regardless
whether the CPU is family 0xf, 0x10 or 0x11) and the driver is able to
handle the CPU temperature sensor.

It's the same with powernow-k8. This cpufreq driver is used for all
newer AMD CPU families as well.
