Subject: [015/140] hwmon: (k10temp) Do not blacklist known working CPU models

2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Jean Delvare <khali@...ux-fr.org>

commit eefc2d9e3d4f8820f2c128a0e44a23de28b1ed64 upstream.

When detecting AM2+ or AM3 socket with DDR2, only blacklist cores
which are known to exist in AM2+ format.
