A "RAPL Package Domain" (rapl_package, above) is a known proper noun --
it is a known documented capability.

When there could be just 1 die in a package, the name of this capability
also always matched the scope of a physical package.

Now that some products have two die in the same package, there
can be two of these inside a package, and they are associated with
each die.

There are no plans to re-name the Package RAPL Domain capability
in the hardware documentation.

Similarly, there are no plans to re-name any of the other "PACKAGE"
scoped MSRs to have "DIE" in their name instead.  The ship with
those names sailed long ago.

I think the code above reflects its function, and that somebody maintaining
it will be clear on this.  That is important, because in the future, there will
be a concept of PACKAGE scoped MSRs that span multiple DIE...
