Stanislav Sedov 7267a01896 - Add port for sysutils/devcpu
This kernel module provides access to i386/amd64 CPUs MSR (Model Specific
Register) registers and cpuid info through /dev/cpu%d devices, where %d
corresponds to cpu number.

It can be used with x86info to retrive information available from MSR registers.

Additionally, this module can be used to update/replace microcode of cpus.

=============================================================================
CPU kernel module was installed.
To load it, issue
% kldload cpu
Then you can access MSR registers or cpuid info via /dev/cpu%d or using
3d-party programs, e.g. x86info.
For information regarding microcode update feature refer to
cpu_mictocode_tool(4) manpage.
Please, report any problems to maintainer. Thanks!
