I had a brief look into the PM965 datasheet (http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/datasheet/316273.pdf).
Apparently it has internal temperature sensors. It also supports Intel MEI,
which afaik can be accessed to read the chip (and possibly CPU) temperatures.
There is a MEI driver in staging, but I don't have any idea how to use it.
