Well, on this kind of (consumer) hardware there is only one instance of amdtemp 
and it used to have a unit number of zero.  And there's always CPU #0.  So, it 
was a perfect match, even if by accident.

I am not sure how that worked on multi-socket systems with hardware from that 
generation (AMD family 10h).
