Subject[PATCH] cpufreq/intel_pstate: Add function to check that all MSR's are valid
Date
From: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.brandewie@gmail.com>

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.
