>Description:
The ACPI sub-device for CPU power-saving and throttling is called "processor"
in the acpi(4) manpage.  While semantically correct, the actual name used to
disable the facility is "cpu" (as seen in src/sys/dev/acpica/acpi_cpu.c, line
126).  Since the manpage listing of sub-devices is titled "sub-devices and
features that can be disabled", this should probably be corrected.
>How-To-Repeat:
Add one of the following two lines to /boot/loader.conf:
debug.acpi.disable="processor"
debug.acpi.disable="cpu"
The first is what the manpage suggests.  The second is what works. :-)
>Fix:
Change the name of the device from 'processor' to 'cpu' in acpi(4).
