Sorry for the late answer.

Please test this patch. Be aware that temperature with nouveau will be 
higher than with the blob.
I only want to see if nouveau reports a temperature.

The only way to be sure if the values are good-enough would be to use 
the blob and run:
nvapeek 0x15b0
Please send me the result along with the temperature reported by nvidia 
at the time of the peek.

PS: This patch has only be compile-tested, I don't have access to an 
nv4x right now.
