Is it the case here that there's essentially two "P0" states being 
enumerated by ACPI (One for turbo mode enabled, and one for disabled)?
This is what the cpu_info kstat is showing on Kuriakose's laptop (thanks 
Vinay):

supported_frequencies_Hz
800000000:1200000000:1600000000:2000000000:2400000000:2401000000

I'm wondering what the essential difference is between the 2400 state 
and the 2401 state (besides 1 MHz, and i'm guessing that's not even the 
difference)...

Thanks,
-Eric
