---Problem Description---
cpupower monitor shows multiple stop Idle_Stats
---uname output---
Linux zz376p1 4.10.0-26-generic #30~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 27 09:38:48 UTC
2017 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux
Machine Type = P9
---Debugger---
A debugger is not configured
---Steps to Reproduce---
Install a P9 8375-42A Hardware with Ubuntu 16.04.3 OS.
Then execute the cpupower monitor command to fetch all the Idle_Stats values.
root@zz376p1:~# cpupower monitor
|Idle_Stats

8|2052| 12| 0.00| 0.00| 99.70
8|2052| 13| 0.00| 0.00| 23.86
8|2052| 14| 0.00| 0.00| 113.1
8|2052| 15| 0.00| 0.00| 0.00
As can be seen it shows 2 columns for stop.

There are 3 idle_stats (3 states) in this system.

cpu monitor will print the results of all the 3 available idle_stats .
The first stop -> stop0_lite stats
and
The second stop -> stop1_lite stats.
cpupower monitor header prints the header list by getting the name of
the idle stats.
name (name description)
snoo [T] -> snooze
stop [T] -> stop0_lite
stop [T] -> stop1_lite
We can change the header to be more meaningful so user won't interpret
it as 2 columns for stop.
May be we need to change the code to print the header to use name description
instead of name.
.
I will work on the patch and get it resolve.

I have executed the command again with the fixed cpupower utility.
Submitted patch upstream and awaiting response.
