What about making this a new driver forked from k10temp.

AMD has changed how they report temperatures and the very different method
of getting these temps suggests that it is no longer reasonable to add
support to this driver for these new chips. Particular attention to the
mutex required to protect the indirect register suggests that this would
benefit from focus in its own driver now that there are multiple members of
the "k15temp" family.

Anyone else have thoughts?
