The main part of this branch is the ongoing fight against windmills in
an attempt to have userspace tools not poke at naked MSRs. This round
deals with MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS and removes direct poking into it
by our in-tree tools in favor of the proper "energy_perf_bias" sysfs
interface which we already have.
In addition, the msr.ko write filtering's error message points to a new
summary page which contains the info we collected from helpful reporters
about which userspace tools write MSRs:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/about
along with the current status of their conversion.
Rest is the usual small fixes and improvements.
x86/msr: Add a pointer to an URL which contains further details
After having collected the majority of reports about MSRs being written
by userspace tools and what tools those are, and all newer reports
mostly repeating, add an URL where detailed information is gathered and
kept up-to-date.
