+Description
+-----------
+
+The Energy driver exposes the energy counters that are
+reported via the Running Average Power Limit (RAPL)
+Model-specific Registers (MSRs) via the hardware monitor
+(HWMON) sysfs interface.
+
+1. Power, Energy and Time Units
+   MSR_RAPL_POWER_UNIT/ C001_0299:
+     shared with all cores in the socket
+
+2. Energy consumed by each Core
+   MSR_CORE_ENERGY_STATUS/ C001_029A:
+     32-bitRO, Accumulator, core-level power reporting
+
+3. Energy consumed by Socket
+   MSR_PACKAGE_ENERGY_STATUS/ C001_029B:
+     32-bitRO, Accumulator, socket-level power reporting,
+     shared with all cores in socket
+
+These registers are updated every 1ms and cleared on
+reset of the system.
+
+Energy Caluclation
+------------------
+
+Energy information (in Joules) is based on the multiplier,
+1/2^ESU; where ESU is an unsigned integer read from
+MSR_RAPL_POWER_UNIT register. Default value is 10000b,
+indicating energy status unit is 15.3 micro-Joules increment.
+
+Reported values are scaled as per the formula
+
+scaled value = ((1/2^ESU) * (Raw value) * 1000000UL) in Joules
+
+Users calculate power for a given domain by calculating
+	dEnergy/dTime for that domain.
