est is preferred if supported.  But probably est doesn't have a table 
for his processor so acpi_perf is used.  There's nothing wrong with 
using acpi_perf -- it just gives a BIOS interface to est anyway.

You can test this with:
hint.acpi_perf.0.disabled="1"

This will cause acpi_perf to let est attach.  But I suspect est won't.
