SPDK/DPDK startup time can be very important - especially
in secondary processes. If DPDK cannot figure out the
TSC via cpuid or rdmsr, it will instead use a 100ms sleep
to calculate the TSC. On Fedora kernels, the msr module
is linked into the kernel, enabling rdmsr and bypassing
this 100ms sleep. But on Ubuntu kernels, the user must
explicitly load the msr module, otherwise it will incur
the 100ms sleep.
