Thanks a lot for reporting your findings. It will hopefully help some
other folks someday.

Here are the possibilities:

1* Add address 0x0d00 to sensors-detect.
2* Add address 0x0d00 to it87.
3* Add your code to it87.
4* Add what you found to the it87 doc.
5* Distribute your program into lm_sensors.

I'm not easy with ISA chips, since I only wrote I2C chip drivers so far.
I know that ISA is typically a little bit more dangerous, but I don't
know to which extent. I'd like to hear other people about that. I don't
even understand what you code does (or, more precisely, how it does it)
but it looks interesting. Is there a chance we could use it for
something less specific than your own case? (in other words, how
A7N8X-VM specific is it? how it8712F-specific?)

I really don't know wether it's better to just add the new address to
the list, or include your detection code in some way.
