Well, it seems real that Turion-based machines can offer that many CPU
frequency levels.  Another dualcore Turion machine offers these:

dev.cpu.0.freq_levels: 1990/100000 1791/81822 1592/65808 1393/57582 1194/49356 
995/41130 796/22152 696/19383 597/16614 497/13845 398/11076 298/8307 199/5538 
99/2769

Not quite that many as the machine above, but still an impressive
list.

It seems I managed it to finally fix the machine above, thanks to
anyone for suggestions.  I updated the BIOS to the latest version
(1.07) where the reports I found in the Internet suggested that
Windows 7 failed to set the CPU frequency away from the default 800
MHz one with any prior version.  This by itself didn't really solve
the issue at hand, so I continued to upgrade the machine's kernel from
FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE to RELENG_8.  Also, I modularized the kernel, and
recompiled the cpufreq module with *just* the powernow driver in it.

I cannot tell for sure which of the three things did fix it, but I can
now run it with "powerd -a hadp -b adp", and it ran for 12 h that way
(including the nightly cron jobs).
