AMD Phenom 2 K10 Temp module not working in 2.6.39, "fix"

"k10temp unreliable CPU thermal sensor; monitoring disabled"

In pre-2.6.39 lm-sensors k10temp module worked perfectly but 2.6.39 killed it.
[removed]
This'll probably be fixed upstream (there are bug reports), but this'll do for now.

Edit: Recompiling is not at all necessary (removed it), all that you need to do is add this file:
/etc/modprobe.d/k10temp.conf

options k10temp force=1

Can also be tried with:
# rmmod k10temp
# modprobe k10temp force=1

This is of course taking for granted that the module worked before 2.6.39, since it bypasses any error checks..

Does this work with kernel 3.0? Udev complains at boot saying unreliable CPU thermal sensor

Odd, works great here.
Does it work when you do it after boot?

# rmmod k10temp
# modprobe k10temp force=1
