SRU Justification:
[Impact]
The intel-speed-select utility provides more granular control and
inspection capabilities for Intel CPUs with Intel Speed Select
Technology (SST) support. This utility is built from Linux kernel
sources.
[Fix]
Apply the patch "UBUNTU: [Packaging] Add intel-speed-select to
linux-tools" from Resolute that builds and packages the
intel-speed-select binary in a binary packaged named
$(SRCPKG)-tools-$(ABIVER) under /usr/lib/$(SRCPKG)-tools-$(ABIVER). This
applies only to Ubuntu kernel builds where do_tools_x86 is true.
This patch is to be applied to Questing and Noble. It is a clean cherry
pick to Questing, and a backport to Noble. It is already present in
Resolute and newer.
[Test Plan]
1. Build the generic kernel with this patch applied.
2. Verify the only additional file is the intel-speed-select utility:
$ debdiff linux-tools-6.17.0-29.29_6.17.0-29.29_amd64.deb linux-tools-6.17.0-1029.29_6.17.0-1029.29_amd64.deb
3. Run intel-speed-select, verify the output is as expected.
$ sudo /usr/lib/linux-tools-6.17.0-1030/intel-speed-select turbo-freq info -l 0

[Where problems could occur]
Any possible issues would likely affect the kernel tools packaging. The
risk of regression is low, as this patch only adds a single binary to
the $(SRCPKG)-tools-$(ABIVER) binary package. No wrapper scripts are
added or modified.
