hwmon: (k8temp) Bypass core swapping on single-core processors
Commit a2e066b introduced core swapping for CPU models 64 and later. I recently had a report about a Sempron 3200+, model 95, for which this patch broke temperature reading. It happens that this is a single-core processor, so the effect of the swapping was to read a temperature value for a core that didn't exist, leading to an incorrect value (-49 degrees C.) Disabling core swapping on singe-core processors should fix this. Additional comment from Andreas: The BKDG says Thermal Sensor Core Select (ThermSenseCoreSel)-Bit 2. This bit selects the CPU whose temperature is reported in the CurTemp field. This bit only applies to dual core processors. For single core processors CPU0 Thermal Sensor is always selected. k8temp_probe() correctly detected that SEL_CORE can't be used on single core CPU. Thus k8temp did never update the temperature values stored in temp[1][x] and -49 degrees was reported. For single core CPUs we must use the values read into temp[0][x].
