What are the supported cpu frequencies (supported_frequencies_Hz) that the kernel did find for this system?

    kstat -p cpu_info:::supported_frequencies_Hz

bash-3.2$ kstat -p cpu_info:::supported_frequencies_Hz
cpu_info:0:cpu_info0:supported_frequencies_Hz 1000000000:1333000000:1667000000:2000000000 cpu_info:1:cpu_info1:supported_frequencies_Hz 1000000000:1333000000:1667000000:2000000000

It seems the different frequencies are available but not used..

I noticed a similar issue on my Tecra M5 when going from builds 109 to builds 110 and 111. powertop would say that the cpu would be running at 1GHz but kstat would stay it was still at 1830000000 I stumbled upon an internal Solaris Nevada bug (CR# 6818514) that was created for ATOM processors showing the same thing that suggests using:

cpupm enable poll-mode

        Setting this on my M5 seems to cause the CPU to cycle down as expected.
        Might be related.
