[PATCH] Enable coretemp driver on Intel Atom

Hi!

This small patch enables the coretemp driver on an Intel Atom. I'm not
sure if the readings are correct, however - on my 330, the driver
reports values between 27 and 41 °C (with core1 being about 8°C hotter
than core0, given the same load). Maybe the maximum temperature of 100
°C is wrong for Atom CPUs.
