That's tremendously useful. Many, many thanks Lars. Lots of great stuff to
learn about in there :-)

I hadn't seen the kld_list thing in rc.conf before. Is that the same as
adding, say, coretemp_load="YES" to loader.conf? I wondered why you put
those in rc.conf instead? Also have you seen any panics running -current on
this machine?
