[PATCH] powercap/rapl: Do not load in virtualized environments

From: Prarit Bhargava
Date: Tue May 17 2016 - 07:34:41 EST


intel_rapl is currently not supported in virtualized environments. When
booting the warning message

intel_rapl: no valid rapl domains found in package 0

is output for every virtual core.

This patch stops the driver from being loaded in virtual boots.
