It is still unclear to me if it is acceptable or not that a simple bug
in a software like hddtemp can cause the kernel to segfault,
especially not while it occurs since a video card change.


If the kernel segfaults, its a kernel bug.
Aurelien, could you elaborate a little on what the fix for
#335571 was, it seems that whatever kernel code that is tickling
wants fixing.

Well, it was more a workaround than a fix. The solution I found is to not probe packet device drives, as we already know they don't have a temperature sensor. That also fixed a bug where some drives were going in a bad state when receiving the command, creating a SeekComplete Error message in the kernel logs.
