f92a4b93c5 Ignore EPERM from sysctl(3). It is returned when passive cooling
is active.

2f8ad6c087 Drop the default running value to 60% from 80%. Testing shows that we
cycle too much, wasting power if we trigger a jump to full speed too
easily.  CPU-bound tasks quickly push idle below this level.

ab19351c39 Add support for recording the total energy used (in joules) when in
verbose mode.  This is useful for profiling new adaptive algorithms
in performance (via time(1)) and total energy consumed for a given
workload.

48bd710904 Move the AC line checking code into its own function, reducing the
ifdef __i386__ stuff for APM.  Tested as working correctly on i386 and
compile-tested on sparc64.

5f4aa96715 Unbreak !i386 platforms. Only i386 has APM, so don't try to fallback
on APM on other platforms.

b3c9af5615 Change the default levels for adaptive mode to 80% and 90%. On a system
with moderate IO going on, system usage can hover around 65-77% even
though it would benefit from higher performance.  Typically, only truly
idle systems pass the 90% mark so only demote then.

5883360b2f Import powerd(8), a utility for managing power consumption. Currently, it
just uses cpufreq(4) but in the future it should also do things like spin
down disks.  This is based on the work by Colin Percival (called "estctrl").
