    This is apparently because some parts of ACPI, including mutexes, are not
    initialized when acpi=off is passed to the kernel.

commit 16d752397301b95abaa95cbaf9e785d221872311
Author: Rene Herman <rene.herman@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

    thermal: Create CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=n
    
    A bug in libsensors <= 2.10.6 is exposed
    when this new hwmon I/F is enabled.
    Create CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=n
    until some time after libsensors 2.10.7 ships
    so those users can run the latest kernel.
    
    libsensors 3.x is already fixed -- those users
    can use CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON=y now.
