ACPI does not report temperature in degrees Celsius, but in tenths of a
degree Kelvin. So both agree.
When ACPI was first introduced into head (v5?), the sysctl reported the
raw number, but the code was later modified to provide a more human
friendly value. Directly probing ACPI for temperature still returns the raw
value.
