After looking through the code I thought about a much cleaner fix for
handling the SMP defines in coretemp.c and pkgtemp.c. Essentially
it will move all SMP dependencies into a single #ifdef, and also
optimize the loop in question with cpumask_first() / cpumask_next().
Maybe I can get rid of some of the SMP dependencies entirely. However,
the driver also uses phys_proc_id and cpu_core_id from cpuinfo_x86,
and those are only available if SMP is defined.

That would be way too invasive for .36, though. I'll stick with the
current patch and submit a cleanup for .37. That also fits well with
the other pending cleanups for the two drivers.

Thanks,
Guenter
