I'd like you to try again. Attached is a modified version of the same
patch that should apply. I tested it some minutes ago, and it does apply
cleanly to lm_sensors-2.7.0. Go inside the directory where the
lm_sensors sources reside and apply with "patch -p1 <
/path/to/lm_sensors-2.7.0-sysctl-2.patch".

We are planing to release a new version of lm_sensors in a few days and
I'd like to know if your problem is still present or not.

Thanks.
