device.hints kernel environment variables when disabling ACPI.
Some users are getting confused when they see hint.acpi.0.disabled.

* Use the cpu_idle_hook() to do idling for C1-C3.
* Use both _CST and the FADT to detect Cx states.
* Use both _PTC and P_CNT for controlling throttling.
* Add a notify handler to detect changes in _CST and _PSS
* Call the _INI function for each processor if present. This will be
done by ACPI-CA in the future.
* Fix a bug on SMP systems where CPUs will attach multiple times if the
bus is rescan.
* Document new sysctls for controlling idling.

there other non-i386 platforms that FreeBSD supports with ACPI?).
