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?
