acpi: throttle state in 6.0

[Niklas Nielsen]

First of all - Merry Christmas :)

I am new on the list (and dane) - so please bare with me.

I noticed, when upgrading from 5.4 to 6.0 - that
hw.acpi.cpu.throttle_statedon't appear in
6.0.
I have a IBM ThinkPad T40 with a centrino CPU.

Is there another way to throttle down the CPU in 6.0?

Best regards
Niklas Nielsen

This can be done dynamically by powerd(8) or manually with the dev.cpu.0.freq 
sysctl.  Regarding the latter method, the dev.cpu.0.freq_levels sysctl 
displays the available frequencies detected for the processor.
