Would this be a good place to note the slightly counter-intuitive nature
of DTS readings? i.e. add something along the lines of "The DTS sensor
produces a delta relative to Tjmax, so negative values are normal and
values approaching zero are hot." (In my experience people who aren't
already familiar with it tend to think something's wrong when a CPU
temperature reading shows -50C.)

I only see *_label and *_input for the per-core temperature sensors, no
*_max, *_crit, or *_crit_hyst.

I had thought "DTS" referred to a fairly specific sensor in the CPU; is
the same term also used for DIMM temp sensors or is the mention of it
here a copy/paste error?
