Philip Edelbrock c67cf14f7e (Phil) This is the best method I can think of to warn Thinkpad users of
possible eeprom corruption. Feel free to edit or move this warning into
another file if there is a better solution.

**** WARNING: IBM Thinkpad users should not install I2C/Lm_sensors! ****
There have been some reports that the eeprom and/or firmware of IBM
Thinkpads have been corrupted after installing I2C/Lm_sensors. It's not
clear why and what specific action (most likely scanning/probing for chips)
causes the Thinkpad to corrupt it's eeprom. Unless you know otherwise, we
suggest that users avoid installing I2C/Lm_sensors support on IBM Thinkpads
until it becomes known what exactly is causing the corruption.
