Nate Lawson 907b6777c1 Re-work Cx handling to be per-cpu and asymmetrical, fixing support on
modern dual-core systems as well.

- Parse the _CST packages for each cpu and track all the states individually,
on a per-cpu basis.

- Revert to generic FADT/P_BLK based Cx control if the _CST package
is not present on all cpus. In that case, the new driver will
still support per-cpu Cx state handling. The driver will determine the
highest Cx level that can be supported by all the cpus and configure the
available Cx state based on that.

- Fixed the case where multiple cpus in the system share the same
registers for Cx state handling. To do that, added a new flag
parameter to the acpi_PkgGas and acpi_bus_alloc_gas functions that
enable the caller to add the RF_SHAREABLE flag.  This flag could also be
useful to other callers (acpi_throttle?) in the tree but this change is
not yet made.

- For Core Duo cpus, both cores seems to be taken out of C3 state when
any one of the cores need to transition out. This broke the short sleep
detection logic.  It is disabled now if there is more than one cpu in
the system for now as it fixed it in my case.  This quirk may need to
be re-enabled later differently.

- Added support to control cx_lowest on a per-cpu basis. There is still
a generic cx_lowest to enable changing cx_lowest for all cpus with a single
sysctl and for ease of use.  Sample output for the new sysctl:

dev.cpu.0.cx_supported: C1/1 C2/1 C3/57
dev.cpu.0.cx_lowest: C3
dev.cpu.0.cx_usage: 0.00% 43.16% 56.83%
dev.cpu.1.cx_supported: C1/1 C2/1 C3/57
dev.cpu.1.cx_lowest: C3
dev.cpu.1.cx_usage: 0.00% 45.65% 54.34%
hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest: C3

This work was done by Stephane E. Potvin with some simple reworking by
myself.  Thank you.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The ``world''
target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not
changed from the currently running version.  See:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
