I'm setting up a new FreeBSD box (Dell PowerEdge R300, Xeon X5470 CPU) w/ 8-STABLE amd64 (cvsup'd as of today - 19-Apr-2010) and I'm getting a boot message for each core saying "CPU supports Enhanced Speedstep, but is not recognized". I did a search for this message and only found old references (to 7.2) and cases where the virtual cores of a HT CPU were giving this error.
Intel shows the X5470 launched in Q3 2008, so I would have thought that the 8-STABLE est driver would have either recognized it or ignored it (if it couldn't do anything useful with it).
The relevant parts of the dmesg are:
I'm attaching the whole dmesg in case it is neeeded. Let me know if more information is needed.
