Log:
  hwpstate(4): Ignore CurPstateLimit by default

  Add a sysctl knob to allow users to re-enable it, and document the knob and
  default in cpufreq.4.  (While here, add a few unrelated updates to
  cpufreq.4.)

  It seems that the register value in some hardware simply reflects the
  configured P-state.  This results in an inadvertent and unintended outcome
  where the P-state can only walk down, and then the driver becomes "stuck" in
  the slowest possible P-state.

  The Linux driver never consults this register, so that's some evidence that
  ignoring the contents are relatively harmless.
