It means that ACPI has reserved that IO ports for itself, so the hwmon chip not allowed to touch them. Starting from 2.6.31 the kernel actually enforces that reservation. See the FAQ for the details: http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ/Chapter3#Mysensorshavestoppedworkinginkernel2.6.31 For Asus board you can use asus_atk0110, which used the monitoring interface supplied by ACPI.
