Ok, got a bit more involved - I also need to disable preemption around
smp_call_function_single(). Here's what I have now. It seems to work
too.

static ssize_t
energy_policy_pref_hint_show(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr,
                             char *buf)
{
        u64 epb;

        preempt_disable();
        if (rdmsrl_on_cpu(dev->id, MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS, &epb))
                epb = -1;
        preempt_enable();

        return sprintf(buf, "%d\n", (unsigned int)(epb & 0xFULL));
}

static ssize_t
energy_policy_pref_hint_store(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr,
                              const char *buf, size_t count)
{
        u32 val;
        u64 epb;

        if (kstrtou32(buf, 10, &val) < 0)
                return -EINVAL;

        if (val > 15)
                return -EINVAL;

        preempt_disable();

        if (rdmsrl_on_cpu(dev->id, MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS, &epb)) {
                count = -EINVAL;
                goto out;
        }

        if ((epb & 0xf) == val)
                goto out;

        if (wrmsrl_on_cpu(dev->id, MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS, (epb & ~0xFULL) | val))
                count = -EINVAL;

out:
        preempt_enable();
        return count;
}
