Considering stable kernel may access IA32_OVERCLOCKING_STATUS as well,
cc stable list helps to remove the illusion of pmu msr scope for stable tree
maintainers.

Is that a "yes, this should be Cc'd stable" or "no, don't bother"?

Oops, I missed this one. "Yes, this should be Cc'd" as I have received a few complaints on this.

Please let me know if I need to post a new version of this minor patch set, considering the previous
comment "No need for a v4, the above nits can be handled when applying. "

Thanks,
