It is designated to throttle the processor clock in a few specific situations, like the CPU temperature exceeds a threshold value.
T-state is defined in ACPI spec and need BIOS implementation to get supported. The warning message means T-state is not supported on your machine. This is mostly because the BIOS doesn't support it. Don't worry, your system won't be impacted at all without T-state support. BIOS and Solaris kernel will cover all the cases of T-state.
