Aha, figured it out. I had enabled "X86 package temperature thermal
driver" = Y, which caused my Core i7-920 to produce the above trace on
boot. Glancing over the code, should this:

if (!cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_DTHERM) &&
!cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_PTS))
return -ENODEV;

perhaps be

if (!cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_DTHERM) ||
!cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_PTS))
return -ENODEV;

i.e. are both of those things required, or just one of them? My cpu
has DTHERM but not PTS, according to /proc/cpuinfo.
