An extension for intel-pmc

[Mistikan]

I want to build a power efficient home server, and for that I need to monitor "c" states. Can I enable kernel modules like these:

• CONFIG_INTEL_VSEC=m
• CONFIG_INTEL_PMC_CORE=m
• ​​CONFIG_INTEL_PMT_CLASS=m
• CONFIG_INTEL_PMT_TELEMETRY=m

and create an intel-pmc extension that includes these modules?

If these are small modules, we can ship them with base Talos
