Merge P-state support for acpicpu(4).

Remarks:

1. All processors (x86 or not) for which the vendor has implemented
ACPI I/O access routines are supported. Native instructions are
currently supported only for Intel's "Enhanced Speedstep". Code for
"PowerNow!" (AMD) will be merged later. Native support for VIA's
"PowerSaver" will be investigated.

2. Backwards compatibility with existing userland code is maintained.
Comparable to the case with cpu_idle(9), the ACPI CPU driver
installs alternative functions for the existing sysctl(8) controls.
The "native" behavior (if any) is restored upon detachment.

3. The dynamic nature of ACPI-provided P-states needs more investigation.
The maximum frequency induced (but not forced) by the firmware may
change dynamically. Currently, the sysctl(8) controls error out with
a value larger than the dynamic maximum. The code itself does not
however yet react to the notifications from the firmware by changing
the frequencies in-place. Presumably the system administrator should
be able to choose whether to use dynamic or static frequencies.

# 469147a4 21-Dec-2005 sekiya <sekiya@NetBSD.org>

I fixed the cardbus bus enumeration problem awhile back, but the interrupt
fixup problems remain. Adjust TODO comments to match, and add a link to
cube's comments.


# d639792b 09-Jun-2004 kochi <kochi@NetBSD.org>

The "implicit return" problem is already fixed since when I imported
ACPICA_PEDANTIC changes from FreeBSD.
Added one item (processor driver).


# 248f79eb 07-Jun-2004 kochi <kochi@NetBSD.org>

Remove the first one (split _REG initialization path into two phases;
which has been done since post-20031203 version of ACPI-CA).
Pointed out by mycroft.


# 4713b8ea 05-Jun-2004 mycroft <mycroft@NetBSD.org>

Remove a couple of items that are done now. XXX Is the first one also done?


# 700791bc 30-Mar-2004 wiz <wiz@NetBSD.org>

Fix date in previous (shouldn't the entry just be removed?).


# 3f81329e 30-Mar-2004 kochi <kochi@NetBSD.org>

ECDT support is complete.


# 64bd03aa 03-Nov-2003 mycroft <mycroft@NetBSD.org>

Remove acpiec locking from the list.


# 21978e6e 03-Nov-2003 mycroft <mycroft@NetBSD.org>

Add another item, and some comments on particular machines affected.


# d94e36f3 02-Nov-2003 mycroft <mycroft@NetBSD.org>

Add another one.


# e45065a3 01-Nov-2003 mycroft <mycroft@NetBSD.org>

Dropped a word...


# c4330d82 01-Nov-2003 mycroft <mycroft@NetBSD.org>

A small list of things needed here.
