[Fwd: cvs commit: src/sys/dev/acpica acpi_cpu.c]

Please test if this slows your system down.  You can run your workload with:

debug.acpi.disabled="cpu"

... to see if there's any difference.  On most laptops that support C3, 
there is BM control and this code won't be used.  This only affects 
systems which indicate they have C3 (via P_LVL3_LAT being < 1000, see 
acpidump -t) but don't have a PM2_CNT_BLK (== 0, also in acpidump -t).

   Log:
   If bus mastering control is not available (PM2_BLK), don't just disable
   C3.  Instead, flush caches before entering C3.  This may be slower but
   provides good power savings.
