Javi,

First of all, thanks for taking the lead on implementing this.

It follows comments.

I think we need a better design here. I do not like the fact that we are
limited to max temp operation. Remember the LPC discussion? I believe
the agreement was to have a set of aggregation functions. max temp is
definetly one of them. Also the aggregation functions would be sysfs
configurable.
