I think that the kernel I2C support is not hurting your Thinkpad by itself. 
At least if they are compiled as modules. You need to activate this support 
using it through LM_Sensors.

If the kernel is compiled by yourself, you may avoid configuring the I2C 
support.

On the other hand, a distribution ready kernel could include support for the 
I2C. And probably in short, the I2C package could be part of a stardar 
instalation.

I think that the best solution is that IBM or the LM-Sensors developers get 
this mistake fixed.

Use only kernels compiled by you, The config file must read:
# CONFIG_I2C is not set

Probably this way, the LM-Sensors package won't run in any way.
