 descriptor leaks

FWIW,

The latest turbostat and x86_energy_perf_policy utilities in the upstream kernel tree should always be backward compatible with all old kernels.  If that is EVER not the case, I want to know about it.

Yes, I know that some distros ship old versions of these utilities built out of their matching kernel tree snapshots.
Yes, applying upstream fixes to .stable for such distros is a good thing.

However, the better solution for these particular utilities, is that they simply always use upstream utilities -- even with old kernels.

When somebody reports a problem and I need them to run these tools, 100% of the time, I start by sending them the latest upstream version to replace the old version shipped by the distro.

Cheers,
-Len
