You would think that would be the case. But in practice, you can
have a BIOS that will read the same sensors that lmsensors supports,
but will not provide cpu temps as part of its ACPI interface. I have
a motherboard like that, and it has the latest BIOS available. (I am
no stranger to upgrading a BIOS, or other firmware.)
