  All these processors have a sensor, but on those for Socket F or AM2+,
  the sensor may return inconsistent values (erratum 319).  The driver
  will refuse to load on these revisions unless you specify the "force=1"
  module parameter.
  
  Due to technical reasons, the driver can detect only the mainboard's
  socket type, not the processor's actual capabilities.  Therefore, if you
  are using an AM3 processor on an AM2+ mainboard, you can safely use the
  "force=1" parameter.

  There is one temperature measurement value, available as temp1_input in
  sysfs. It is measured in degrees Celsius with a resolution of 1/8th degree.
  Please note that it is defined as a relative value; to quote the AMD manual:
  
    Tctl is the processor temperature control value, used by the platform to
    control cooling systems. Tctl is a non-physical temperature on an
    arbitrary scale measured in degrees. It does _not_ represent an actual
    physical temperature like die or case temperature. Instead, it specifies
    the processor temperature relative to the point at which the system must
    supply the maximum cooling for the processor's specified maximum case
    temperature and maximum thermal power dissipation.
  
  The maximum value for Tctl is available in the file temp1_max.
  
  If the BIOS has enabled hardware temperature control, the threshold at
  which the processor will throttle itself to avoid damage is available in
  temp1_crit and temp1_crit_hyst.
