From b563b4e3f2dd601e19b46ada31bd176fc0a16efc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dirk Brandewie Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2013 01:29:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq / intel_pstate: Add function to check that all MSRs are valid Some VMs seem to try to implement some MSRs but not all the registers the driver needs. Check to make sure all the MSR that we need are available. If any of the required MSRs are not available refuse to load.
