Sreekanth> Temperature Threshold flags a b c d exceeded for Sensor: x
Sreekanth> !!!  mpt3sas0: Current Temp In Celsius: y

Sreekanth> where a b c d are threshold flags 0 1 2 3

Changes look fine. However, I'm a bit concerned about the unbounded
nature of this. What prevents the log from being flooded with
temperature warnings?
