One of the reasons I put turbostat in the kernel tree was so that it
would be easy
to have 1 copy of the truth for MSR definitions.  I'm okay with
treating it like a kernel file
and following any MSR name changes in the kernel.
That is much more attractive to me than managing a 2nd set of definitions
in user-space that would diverge.
