 Hmm... Doesn't work for me on my AMD A10-5700 processor which, according
 to wikipedia, is a piledriver...
 
 I did add my chip to the driver:

 But the results don't look correct:
 # sysctl -a | grep amdtemp
 amdtemp0: <AMD CPU On-Die Thermal Sensors> on hostb4
 dev.amdtemp.0.%desc: AMD CPU On-Die Thermal Sensors
 dev.amdtemp.0.%driver: amdtemp
 dev.amdtemp.0.%parent: hostb4
 dev.amdtemp.0.sensor_offset: 0
 dev.amdtemp.0.core0.sensor0: 8.5C
 
 Probably that weird quirk, though the docs don't describe the issue in
 enough detail:
      Instead, it specifies the processor temperature relative to the point at
      which the system must supply the maximum cooling for the processor's
      specified maximum case temperature and maximum thermal power
      dissipation'' according to BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide (BKDG) for
      AMD Processors,
 
 Which is what temp?  The url provided is just a list of docs..  Is it
 at 50C that the max cooling needs to be supplied? 100C? 1000C?
