[ltp] lm-sensors

[Andrew Gaffney]

I was under the impression that warning was only valid on older Thinkpad models 
like my 770. On a related note, would it be dangerous to build the I2C modules 
in my 2.6.4 kernel and manually ( or with a custom script) read the values from 
'/sys/bus/i2c/devices/whatever'?
