priority of some of the drivers that manage the same state (e.g. ichss0
vs est0). Specifically, powernow, est, and p4tcc are added at order 10,
ichss at order 20, and smist at order 30. Previously, some laptops were
seeing both ichss0 and est0 attaching and stomping on each other.
XXX: This isn't quite ideal, but works with the existing hacks, I think
what we really want instead is a single "speedstep0" device for CPUs
that the ichss, est, and smist drivers probe (but with differing
priorities).

set the speed to the first frequency in the list rather than the value it
had saved.

Always set the cpu to the highest frequency so that we get through
boot and don't handicap cpus where powerd(8) is not used.

o remove errata_a0 and introduce the corresponding flags into 'errata'.
o introduce a new errata for K8, namely some platform might set the
PENDING_BIT but aren't able to unset it, also don't loop forever
waiting PENDING_BIT being cleared.
o try to introduce a workaround for the PENDING_BIT stuck problem,
o support now half multipliers for K8.

Dothan and later processors involves working with acpi_perf(4) to extract
information about supported states. This driver should work on MP systems
including HTT. It is experimental and may have a few bugs but has been
tested to not crash at least.
Thanks to Colin Percival for his initial work on this driver.

reading current performance level is likely to produce bogus results make sure
to switch it to the On-Demand mode and set to some known performance level.
Unfortunately there is no reliable way to check that TCC is in the Automatic
mode. Reading bit 4 of ACPI Thermal Monitor Control Register produces 0
regardless of the current mode.

CPU_ENABLE_TCC enables Thermal Control Circuitry (TCC) found in some
Pentium(tm) 4 and (possibly) later CPUs. When enabled and detected,
TCC allows to restrict power consumption by using machdep.cpuperf*
sysctls. This operates independently of SpeedStep and is useful on
systems where other mechanisms such as apm(4) or acpi(4) don't work.
Given the fact that many, even modern, notebooks don't work properly
with Intel ACPI, this is indeed very useful option for notebook owners.
