FWIW, The latest turbostat and x86_energy_perf_policy utilities in the upstream kernel tree should always be backward compatible with all old kernels. If that is EVER not the case, I want to know about it.
Yes, I know that some distros ship old versions of these utilities built out of their matching kernel tree snapshots. Yes, applying upstream fixes to .stable for such distros is a good thing. However, the better solution for these particular utilities, is that they simply always use upstream utilities -- even with old kernels. When somebody reports a problem and I need them to run these tools, 100% of the time, I start by sending them the latest upstream version to replace the old version shipped by the distro.
