Strange sensors results - PIIX4 (440BX) - IBM 300PL 6892-N2U 2.6.5 / 2.4.20 - force loaded

[Shawn Starr]

After commenting out code in the i2c-piix4 code to stop it from loading the 
driver I noticed the following odd results:

It appears the IBM has a lm80 chip.

The 'odd' thing is it reports i2c devices?

There are two fans on this board. the PSU fan and a special case/cpu fan which 
only turns on when the CPU is getting hot it is usually off if the machine is 
idle.
