    sysutils/powerdxx: add pkg-message to inform
    
    - for CPUs that are supported by the hwpstate driver powerd++ is
      obsolete and in fact not possible, because the driver discards
      frequencies set via the sysctl interface.
    
    - there is a loader tunable that lets you turn it off.

+For CPUs that are supported by the hwpstate driver powerd++ is obsolete and
+in fact not possible, because the driver discards frequencies set via the
+sysctl interface.
+
+There is a loader tunable that lets you turn it off:
+
+	hint.hwpstate_intel.0.disabled
+
+You can use that if you have issues with hwpstate controlling your CPU
+frequency.
