Powertop fails with error: “read_msr cpu0 0x3fe : Input/output error” on BYT-M N3540 CPU (model 0x37).

 

From the sourcecode, it appears c7 support depends on the presence of "/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:13.0" for model 0x37.  Directory "/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:13.0" does not exist on my system.
