Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [this patch is 1.13 specific and 2.0 will be coming.]

Running PowerTop in Poky in dump mode (with --dump) always ends with a
segmentation fault.

The cause is: in dump mode, setup_windows() is not invoked so the
*_window variables, like cstate_window, are still NULL; later in
main() -> show_cstates(), the functions, like wrefresh(), will trigger
segfault.

After discussing in PowerTop mailling list, I think the right solution is
we should stub out the ncurses calls in dump mode.

(The patch was also sent to upstream PowerTop mailling list.)
