thermal: Create CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=n
A bug in libsensors <= 2.10.6 is exposed when this new hwmon I/F is enabled. Create CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=n until some time after libsensors 2.10.7 ships so those users can run the latest kernel. libsensors 3.x is already fixed -- those users can use CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=y now.

+What: CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON
+When: January 2009
+Why: This option was introduced just to allow older lm-sensors userspace
+ to keep working over the upgrade to 2.6.26. At the scheduled time of
+ removal fixed lm-sensors (2.x or 3.x) should be readily available.
