Fails to start with "msr reg not found" error

[Barry Warsaw]

Just installed powertop 2.1-0ubuntu1 on raring on a fresh install. `sudo powertop` fails to start, with the following messages on console (some had to be captured with `script`).

Cannot load from file /var/cache/powertop/saved_results.powertop
Cannot load from file /var/cache/powertop/saved_parameters.powertop
Cannot load from file /var/cache/powertop//var/cache/powertop/saved_parameters.powertop
msr reg not found

No such luck. It *still* fails with the "msr reg not found" error and
powertop still exits.

The "msr reg not found" should by solved by "sudo modprobe msr", the other lines probably aren't fatal.
