Well, you asked about detecting CPUs supporting RAPL.

Now you're asking about different RAPL "subfunctionality" or whatever.

You could do the synthetic flag for feature detection because apparently giving
it a CPUID flag is soo expensive (/sarcastic eyeroll) and then you can pick
apart subfeatures in the RAPL code and do flags there, away from the x86 arch
code because no one should see that.

Thx.
