[Haifux] reading electric current registers on CPU

[Mark Silberstein]

Friends, thanks for all the ideas - none have worked in the meantime.

+mA query is nice, but still not  too helpful
+powertop doesn't have any output that shows CPU power other than for
laptops battery
+/proc/acpi does not expose the current /power registers..

Any other ideas?
