I am not a fan of this. I expect that users of these new CPUs will
very likely also need a new intel-speed-select userspace tool regardless
of doing this MSR munging/shuffling in the kernel. So why not fix
the tool to teach it about the MSR instead ?

If you have good arguments for doing this in the kernel please
add them the commit message for the next version, but my initial
reaction to this is that it is wrong to do this in the kernel
and that the tool should be fixed instead. So my preference
would be for this patch to be dropped from the next version of
the patch-set.

Regards,

Hans
