Sidenote: these strings, if used in different places, might be 
instantiated in a duplicated way, bloating the kernel a tiny bit. It 
might be better to do an intermediate const array and return 
elements of them.

These could be abbreviated with common terms:

 s/signature/sig
 s/length/len
 s/revision/rev
 s/checksum/csum

s/apicid/apic_id

(i realize that apicid is still the commonly used one in arch/x86, 
but that's not a reason to continue that bad practice with new 
code.)

is this in Hz or in kHz? (should be reflected in the name: say 
freq_khz)

I suspect it's HZ here - but that's not unambiguous - often cpufreq 
settings are in khz.

PERF_CTL is an u64 MSR.

So we limit frequency to ~4 GHz?

some prototypes come with externs ... some without. Please use one 
variant.

no need for that return.
