The package temperature isn't currently supported by the coretemp
driver but by the pkgtemp driver. It makes no sense to add support for
package thermal threshold to coretemp as long as the pkgtemp functionality
hasn't been merged back into coretemp. This was the plan, BTW, I
objected to the very existence of a separate pkgtemp driver since day
1, and I thought we had agreed that pkgtemp would be removed and its
functionality would be merged into coretemp.
