	98	Xeon support
	99	------------
	100	The Xeon support is untested.
	101	The Xeon has only one sensor where the other devices have two.
	102	Use 'force_adm1021=BUS,ADDRESS' as a modprobe parameter.
	103	ADDRESS can only be 0x18, 0x1a, 0x29, 0x2b, 0x4c, or 0x4e.
	104	The driver will report two temperatures but one will be invalid.
	105	It is not clear if all Xeon processors have this feature.
	106	Please report results.
