Hi,

running latest illumos(ses), for quite a while I sometimes, not always,
see a spurious warning on our T3500, always for CPU2:

------------------------
Jun 23 15:23:16 xxxxx genunix: [ID 353554 kern.warning] WARNING:: Device /fw/cpu@2 failed to power up.

Jun 23 15:23:16 xxxxx cpudrv: [ID 774086 kern.warning] WARNING:: cpudrv_monitor: instance 1: can't raise CPU power level
------------------------
although already earlier, that CPU initialized correctly:

Jun 23 15:23:15 xxxxx unix: [ID 518058 kern.notice] cpu2: microcode has been updated from version 0x10 to 0x1f

Jun 23 15:23:15 xxxxx unix: [ID 408514 kern.notice] initialized cpu module 'cpu.generic' on chip 0 core 2 strand 0

Jun 23 15:23:15 xxxxx unix: [ID 282553 kern.notice] initialized model-specific module 'cpu_ms.GenuineIntel' on chip 0 core 2 strand 0

Jun 23 15:23:15 xxxxx unix: [ID 950921 kern.notice] cpu2: x86 (chipid 0x0 GenuineIntel 206C2 family 6 model 44 step 2 clock 3467 MHz)

Jun 23 15:23:15 xxxxx unix: [ID 950921 kern.notice] cpu2: Intel(r) Xeon(r) CPU
  W3690 @ 3.47GHz

Jun 23 15:23:15 xxxxx unix: [ID 557947 kern.notice] cpu2 initialization complete - online
-------------------------

and psrinfo and ucodeadm show the CPU is in normal working state:

Status of virtual processor 2 as of: 06/23/2023 15:35:12
  on-line since 06/23/2023 15:23:15.
  The i386 processor operates at 3467 MHz,
        and has an i387 compatible floating point processor.

CPU     Microcode Version
....
2       0x1f
...

So could it be that this CPU really has some lurking problem, or
is it rather a kernel code glitch, maybe not correctly detecting that
it has indeed powered up the CPU, waiting not long enough ?
