But intel_pstate cheats, it has a FMS listing and possible 'interesting'
chips are excluded. For instance, Core2 has APERF/MPERF, but
intel_pstate does not support Core2.
Simlarly, intel_pstate does (obviously) not support AMD chips, even tho
those have APERF/MPERF.
Although I suppose Core2 doesn't have VMX and is therefore less
interesting, but then we'd need to gate the logic with something like:
static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_APERFMPERF) &&
(static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_VMX) || static_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_SVM)

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that's the same KNL hack as
TurboStat has.
Is that really the only known case?
