# This is a script developers can use to set-up their workstation to let
# Telemetry read the CPU's Model Specific Registers in order to get power
# measurements. It can check if reading from MSRs is possible as any user, but
# must run as root to make changes. Not all changes are sticky, so one has to
# re-run this script after each reboot.
#
# This script is currently Debian/Ubuntu specific.
