O.K. Great.
By the way, I have already tested it (in addition to the previously e-mailed patch correction):

First, with this:

	its.it_interval.tv_sec = rapl_joule_counter_range;

Result:

sudo ./turbostat --Summary --interval 3200 --show Avg_MHz,Busy%,Bzy_MHz,IRQ,PkgTmp,PkgWatt,GFXWatt
...

4033    100.22  4024    7254993 66      18.00   0.00

actual (using a shorter interval, that doesn't wrap around):

4039    100.22  4030    676197  65      99.91   0.00

And now with this:

	its.it_interval.tv_sec = rapl_joule_counter_range / 2;

Avg_MHz Busy%   Bzy_MHz IRQ     PkgTmp  PkgWatt GFXWatt
4032    100.22  4023    7205931 65      99.91   0.00

4034    100.22  4024    7205563 65      99.91   0.00

and using the shorter interval:

Note that it is very much on purpose that I have set
TDP to 100 watts on this processor, whereas the
default is 95 watts. Notice the package temperature,
after several hours of running power throttled to
a CPU frequency of 4.03 GHz.
