Had the same problem where powerd would hang my HP Pavilion dv8000
system. I worked arround the problem by using the following in
rc.conf:
powerd_enable="YES"
powerd_flags="-a maximum -b maximum"
Of course this makes powered do nothing when on battery. What I think
is happening is that powered is too aggressive in downgrading the
clock speed, that it eventually sets the clock to a value that is so
low that the system stops responding.

Thank you Scot,
The powerd_flags="-a maximum -b maximum" workaround worked like a charm for me.
But I'm still willing to help by testing patches from the FreeBSD commiters.
Thank you Bruno for sending the patch to me, Please let me know if you
need me to do more patches tests.
