You can fetch a patch adding support for the IT8716F and IT8718F to the
Linux 2.6.17 it87 driver from my home server:
  http://jdelvare.pck.nerim.net/sensors/hwmon-it8716f-it8718f-v4-2.6.17.patch

Apply it with the following command (from your kernel source tree's
root):
  patch -p1 --dry-run < /path/to/hwmon-it8716f-it8718f-v4-2.6.17.patch

If it looks OK, once again without --dry-run to actually apply the
patch.
