#13 ksensors: patch to show SCSI/SATA disks

[Chaza]

http://bugs.gentoo.org/120350

Written by Michael Mauch. From his summary on the above bug:

With the new Linux kernel 2.6.15 it is possible to use hddtemp for SCSI
or SATA disks. These disks appear as /dev/sda, /dev/sdb and so on.

ksensors currently only looks for IDE devices in /proc/ide. With the
attached patch ksensors first tries to open the directory /sys/block,
which has hd* and sd* entries. If /sys/block is not there, /proc/ide is
used as usual.

Also in the above Gentoo bug:

on my box, hddtemp segfault when call with :
hddtemp -q /dev/hdd /dev/hdc
but, not if called like :
hddtemp -q /dev/hdd
hddtemp -q /dev/hdc
so, ksensors need to be patch not to so.
that's what the attached patch is doing
(it may be better to fix hddtemp but this dirty hack work for me)

prevent ksensors from calling hddtemp with multiple params
