 * Return the measured active (C0) frequency on this CPU since last call

 * Input: cpu number
 * Return: Average CPU frequency in terms of max frequency (zero on error)
 *
 * We use IA32_MPERF and IA32_APERF MSRs to get the measured performance
 * over a period of time, while CPU is in C0 state.
 * IA32_MPERF counts at the rate of max advertised frequency
 * IA32_APERF counts at the rate of actual CPU frequency
 * Only IA32_APERF/IA32_MPERF ratio is architecturally defined and
 * no meaning should be associated with absolute values of these MSRs.
