[ltp] Definitive lm_sensors protective measure

[M. Leo Cooper]

I am not aware whether the lm_sensors problem has been fixed, but in any case,
a surefire method for protecting yourself against it is the following. As
root, 

         rm -f /lib/modules/2.4*/kernel/drivers/sensors/*

This will delete all the sensors loadable modules, so even if the kernel
attempts to load a sensor module, it will fail. Before deleting the modules,
of course make certain there is no sensor module in memory by an /sbin/lsmod.
If there is, do a quick /sbin/rmmod (as root) to unload the dangerous module.

Hope this helps.
