GSoC2007: cnst-sensors.2007-08-20.patch

Dear freebsd-current_at_,

It is my pleasure to present a Technology Preview patch that ports most 
of the base components of OpenBSD's hardware sensors framework to FreeBSD.

Apart from the kernel framework for registering and accessing hardware 
sensors, this patch includes the lm(4) driver that supports nearly all 
known Winbond Super I/O chips that the majority of PCs have today. It 
also includes a patch that converts coretemp(4) driver to the new 
framework.

Most noticeably, this patch does not yet include sysctl(8) access to 
hardware sensors; however, sensor readings can be conveniently monitored 
with systat(1) sensors display and logged with the included sensorsd(8).

(As this project is about porting the framework, no iic(4) drivers were 
or will be ported from OpenBSD at this time -- however, if you are 
willing to port some drivers and need help with sensors framework, let 
me know.)


Apply to FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT as of 2007-08-20 by doing:

	cd /usr/src
	fetch 
http://p4web.freebsd.org/depot/projects/soc2007/cnst-sensors/cnst-sensors.2007-08-20.patch
	mkdir  sys/dev/lm  sys/modules/lm  usr.sbin/sensorsd
	patch < cnst-sensors.2007-08-20.patch


More details, including some installation instructions, are available in 
my LJ:

Cheers,
Constantine,
