'sar -m CPU <interval> <count>' command does not return valid CPU FREQ
values on powerkvm. I have the result pasted below captured on powerkvm
vs x86 fedora system.


On PowerKVM:

[root@c158f2u07os ~]# sar -m CPU 1 5
Linux 4.4.4-1.el7_1.pkvm3_1_1.1200.0.ppc64le (c158f2u07os.pok.stglabs.ibm.com)  
06/17/2016      _ppc64le_       (160 CPU)

06:30:28 AM     CPU       MHz
06:30:36 AM     all      0.00
06:30:44 AM     all      0.00
06:30:53 AM     all      0.00
06:31:01 AM     all      0.00
06:31:09 AM     all      0.00
Average:        all      0.00

>>Though I have given 1 sec interval, the real interval seems to be
different as shown above. And FREQ MHz is shown 0.

Same run on fedora x86 server:
[srikanth@bssrikanth-tp ~]$ sar -m CPU 1 5
Linux 4.3.4-300.fc23.x86_64 04/15/2016  _x86_64_        (4 CPU)

12:08:47 PM     CPU       MHz

12:08:49 PM     all   2214.71

    sar: Improve cpuinfo read for POWER architecture
    
    Currently CPU frequency is not being read properly on POWER archicture.
    It shows the frequency as:
      # sar -m CPU 1 5
    ...
      06:30:28 AM     CPU       MHz
      06:30:36 AM     all      0.00
    
    This is caused because /proc/cpuinfo is differently between Intel and
    POWER.
    This patch simply fix the parsing function (read_cpuinfo).
