d5c48380b2 Failing to set new frequency should not lead to powerd exiting.
Change err(3) to warn(3) as three other cases.

427aeb138a Create the devd thread after we have called daemon(). Otherwise, it would
be killed when the parent exits.

cd579e831a Set the signal handlers before creating the thread. This is so it inherits
the parent's signal mask.  Once daemon() forked, signals would be ignored
in the child thread.  While I'm here, check the return value of daemon().
This fixes termination in the daemon case (bug introduced in last commit).

d5e033e83c Use a pipe for reading devd events as another method of getting the AC line
status.  Add a thread that waits for events on the named pipe instead of
polling the line status via apm or the ACPI sysctl.  Additionally, use
robust error handling in case devd goes away or we temporarily can't set
a frequency (i.e., passive cooling has preempted our setting).

Later, this should be improved so that if adaptive control is not being used,
we will block while waiting for AC line events, saving a little CPU.

ef01f96275 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.

46d7cfdb4b 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.

compile-tested on sparc64.

2347ac87e8 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.

3960f7cce3 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").
