tools/power turbostat: display SMI count by default
The SMI counter is popular -- so display it by default rather than requiring an option. What the heck, we've blown the 80 column budget on many systems already... Note that the value displayed is the delta during the measurement interval. The absolute value of the counter can still be seen with the generic 32-bit MSR option, ie. -m 0x34 Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

.SH SMI COUNTING EXAMPLE
On Intel Nehalem and newer processors, MSR 0x34 is a System Management Mode Interrupt (SMI) counter.
-Using the -m option, you can display how many SMIs have fired since reset, or if there
-are SMIs during the measurement interval, you can display the delta using the -d option.
+This counter is shown by default under the "SMI" column.
