Michael Eriksson posted to port-i386 on 20031102, with various
modifications by me to work in the new sysctl(9) framework.
The code is enabled with 'options ENHANCED_SPEEDSTEP', and if
the CPU supports EST the following sysctl(8) nodes appear
(with the values that a Dell Inspiron 8600 + WUXGA with a
1.4GHz Pentium M CPU supports):
machdep.est.cpu_brand = Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1400MHz
machdep.est.frequency.target = 1400
machdep.est.frequency.current = 1400
machdep.est.frequency.available = 1400 1200 1000 800 600
If EST support isn't available, the "machdep.est" sysctl sub-MIB
is not created.
Once we have a more general "CPU frequency" control API we can
migrate this code to using that.
Thanks to Michael Erikkson for providing this code!
