some kinda new intel advanced power domain stuff (RAPL is "Running 
Average Power Limit"), to limit CPU power consumption... that message 
just means its not supported by your hardware (or VM), so the intel_rapl 
driver is exiting.  totally harmless albeit mildly annoying.  you can 
blacklist the intel_rapl driver to get rid of it.
