Greg, maybe...

commit ef8d3a128c1f1de7ffdedb2f14e846e10fd3fec3
Author: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@...hat.com>

     cpupower: Fix coredump on VMWare

     [ Upstream commit f69ffc5d3db8f1f03fd6d1df5930f9a1fbd787b6 ]

should be dropped from v4.9 (and v4.4) since it causes:

$ make V=1 -C tools/power/cpupower all

gcc -fPIC -DVERSION=\"4.9.136.142.g36c7703\" -DPACKAGE=\"cpupower\" 
-DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"linux-pm@...r.kernel.org\" -D_GNU_SOURCE -pipe 
-DNLS -Wall -Wchar-subscripts -Wpointer-arith -Wsign-compare 
-Wno-pointer-sign -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wshadow -O1 -g -DDEBUG 
-I./lib -I ./utils -o utils/helpers/amd.o -c utils/helpers/amd.c
utils/helpers/amd.c: In function ‘decode_pstates’:
utils/helpers/amd.c:106:39: error: ‘union msr_pstate’ has no member 
named ‘fam17h_bits’
    if ((cpu_family == 0x17) && (!pstate.fam17h_bits.en))

Due to nonexistent CPU (flag) support.

Replied to Sasha on specific commits for both, v4.4 and v4.9.

Thanks!
