Yes, exactly.

Might be because CPU driver autoloading is still fairly recent so most
distributions don't rely on it yet. As a matter of fact I had to take
coretemp out of /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors in order to reproduce the bug.

Bisection pointed to:

commit ac212b6980d8d5eda705864fc5a8ecddc6d6eacc
Author: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Fri May 3 00:26:22 2013 +0200

    ACPI / processor: Use common hotplug infrastructure
    
Rafael, any hint as to why the auto-loading of driver coretemp would be
broken by the aforementioned commit?
