Hi Doug,
Thanks for reviewing this patch.

This should be okay. I've checked the defination of TDP, and
on a wiki page it has mentioned that[1]:
"Some sources state that the peak power for a microprocessor
is usually 1.5 times the TDP rating"
although the defination of TDP varies, using 2 * TDP should
be safe.

Nice catch, I did not realize that the energy_pkg field has
already been converted into accumuted variable which does not
need to consider the wrapping(64bit should be long enough for
normal test cases).
