Currently, the hp-wmi-sensors driver needs to be loaded manually

id table can be used to support autoloading.

However the driver might conflict with the hp-wmi driver since both
seem to use the same WMI GUID for registering notify handler.


I have no idea how this is supposed to be handled.
wmi_install_notify_handler() is marked as deprecated,
suggesting that the entire driver structure may be outdated.

I am thus submitting this patch as an RFC for now.


... and, given the above, I have no idea what to do with it, sorry.
