Turbo Boost #2

Closed pyamsoft closed 9 years ago

pyamsoft commented 9 years ago

On some computers (like my own laptop) enabling the no_turbo flags in the pstate files doesn't actually turn off turbo boost because the CPU reports its max frequency as the turbo frequency to the OS. Add support for the msr_tools package so that wrmsr and rdmsr can be used to toggle the actual Turbo Boost bit in the CPU architecture.

Should be working in builds from commit 52 and onwards
