Another *MASSIVE* fail is that an x86 cpufeature was added by a patch
that went through the hwmon tree without any x86 maintainer ACK, and
with a subject line that would not have made anyone aware of it:

a4659053 x86/hwmon: fix initialization of coretemp

We maintain x86/cpufeature as a separate -tip branch for a reason:
changes to that stuff mucks with *everything* as it is.
