The objection I have to this, is that there's no other use for these MSRs
outside of a powernow driver. They aren't "power management MSRs"
they're "powernow MSRs".

IMO msr-index should be used for MSRs that may be used by multiple files,
reducing duplication.  Here we're just moving something around for
no obvious benefit.
