So we remove something that checks the CPU level for a model we *expect*
to find a thermal sensor, and only throws a KERN_WARNING if we're on a
model we don't know about...

And replace it with a totally unprotected check that's going to fire off
a KERN_WARNING on every single CPU that Intel ever made that doesn't
include a hardware thermal sensor - including all the family 0-5,
and model < 0x0e hardware.
KERN_WARNING is for "We expected to find the hardware but it's gone off
for a walk on us". If you wanted to say "Hmm.. this CPU doesn't have one"
you probably wanted KERN_DEBUG or *maybe* KERN_INFO.
