[elrepo] kmod-coretemp

I notice from various reading that the TJunction max varies between  
various processors in the Core2 Duo range.

I have just put an e6850 into my CentOS box, installed lm_sensors  
2.10.8 and kmod-coretemp. The coretemp output at idle is as follows:

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:      +26°C  (high =  +100°C)

coretemp-isa-0001
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 1:      +32°C  (high =  +100°C)

The tJunction-max for my G0 stepping E6850 is 90°C. Where does the  
coretemp driver get the 100°C high value from? There is no coretemp  
section in sensors.conf... Is it programmed into the driver?

The system's (it8718 driven) CPU temp (tCase I assume) is 24°C at the  
same time as the above reading.

Just want to make sure that I'm monitoring the right values...
