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.

(see my suggestion about the proper type of these in my other mail)

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.
