Yes, but scope of rapl_pmus_pkg is actually *die* for some Intel systems
(Xeon Cascade Lake-AP to be specific), right?

Whereas, all AMD systems have pkg scope for power PMU.

Sure that would be cleaner, albeit not that explicit, will make the change 
in next version

Yes, better to be safe, will reorder the cleanup.
