That's strange, I can select all the AMD power drivers on 3.6.11:

$ grep -E "^CONFIG_SENSORS" .config
CONFIG_SENSORS_K8TEMP=m
CONFIG_SENSORS_K10TEMP=m
CONFIG_SENSORS_FAM15H_POWER=m

Can you do 'make mrproper' and try regenerating your config? But
remember, mrproper will remove your .config so you might want to save
that upfront in case you need it.

HTH.
