If you insist on seeing that patch (for 2.6.39 btw):

Those 3 output lines don't seem like the mode is detected.
coretemp coretemp.0: Unable to read TjMax from CPU.
coretemp coretemp.0: CPU (model=0x26) is not supported yet, using default
TjMax of 100C.

Cherry-picking this patch, only reduces the output to those two lines:
coretemp coretemp.0: Unable to read TjMax from CPU.
coretemp coretemp.0: Unable to read IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET MSR

Both the linux kernel (see above) and the bootloader can't use
MSR_IA32_TEMPERATURE_TARGET, so I guess this model does not support this
feature.
I don't know which models have number 0x26, despite the E6xx.

Here's the cpuinfo output. I didnt find anything which would allow this

As there seem to be no model string to distinct, only the module parameter
seems valid to do this change.
