As jhb@ pointed me out in private with the previous patch a CPU could
never enter in the
lowest Cx-state even if it gained.
So I'd like to propose this new solution.
When hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest sysctl is set, the global handler in
sys/dev/acpi_cpu.c
will set the greatest sc->cpu_cx_lowest value supported by the CPU and
not the same
value for all CPUs.
Later, when CPU, possibly gain new Cx-states, the acpi_cpu_notify
handler will set
sc->cpu_cx_lowest accordingly with global cx_lowest and the Cx-states
supported by
the CPU.

Now I think that /etc/rc.d/power_profile script has a problem but that
is a different story.
The script select the lowest_value only querying cx-states of the dev.cpu.0.
If different CPUs may have different Cx-states, the script should use
as lowest_value the
lowest value between all the CPUs.

Please, let me know your comments and possibly commit the patch
if you think is good enough.
