My understanding is that some K8 CPU series simply have broken thermal
sensors and there's not much we can do about it. In some cases you may
try applying arbitrary offsets to get somewhat realistic (yet
incorrect) values, in others even that won't work.
Maybe we will have to blacklist some CPU series from the k8temp driver
to avoid the confusion.
