I added a sensor->meaning mapping to the 5,2 ubuntu Karmic page. My
confidence in it's accuracy is low.

Experimentation on OSX shows that the temperature gets above 90 with no
changes in fan temperature.  I don't know if this means everything is
WAD or what.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: acpi

The CPU fan on my laptop isn't working. This results in high (and potentially fatal) CPU temperatures. Running ubuntu for about 10 minutes and then restarting into OSX results in a lot of fan activity to try and cool down the overheated CPU. I am running 9.10
