Make sure the thinkpad-acpi module is running.  And, of course, you must be
in ACPI mode.

As long as thinkpad-acpi is running, just run the "sensors" command.
DO NOT run sensors-detect or any other crap of the sort.  You just need
thinkpad-acpi, and libsensors will autodetect the available sensors from
thinkpad-acpi.

You must use lm-sensors v3.0.0 or newer.
