    cpufreq/intel_pstate: Add function to check that all MSR's are valid
    
    Some VMs seem to try to implement some MSRs but not all the registers
    the driver needs.  Check to make sure all the MSR that we need are
    available. If any of the required MSRs are not available refuse to
    load.
