  Description     : a better reporting tool for i7, i5, i3 CPUs

i7z is a tool to report CPU information about TurboBoost, frequencies,
multipliers, ... and a top-like display for the current frequency,
temperature and time spent in the C0/C1/C3/C6/C7 states.

There is also a i7z_rw_registers script that allows toggling Turbo mode
or set multipliers.

It comes wiht a GUI (written in QT), but that has not been updated for
SandyBridge/IviBridge CPUs.

I plan to put the packaging into collab-maint. Or is there a team that
would like to include that package under its umbrella?
