Re: [lm-sensors] Could the k8temp driver be interfering with ACPI?

[Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org>]

How about this? It's informational only, but ought to result in 
complaints whenever ACPI tries to touch something that other hardware 
has reserved. We can't fail these accesses, but in theory we could 
consider some sort of locking layer that made it possible to interact 
anyway. I haven't even checked if this builds, but I think the concept 
is reasonable.
