New Revision: 260602
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/260602

Log:
  MFC r259197:
  Do not DELAY() for P-state transition unless we want to see the result.
  
  Intel manual says: "If a transition is already in progress, transition to
  a new value will subsequently take effect. Reads of IA32_PERF_CTL determine
  the last targeted operating point."  So seems it should be fine to just
  trigger wanted transition and go.  Linux does the same.
