+OK, thanks for the report.
+
+Can you please try the patch below?
+
+I'm actually unsure if we can do that safely in general for Atom because
+of the initialization, but that's what Core does anyway.
+
+Srinivas, Philippe, why exactly do we need the wrmsrl_on_cpu() in
+atom_set_pstate()? core_set_pstate() uses wrmsrl() and seems to be doing fine.
