One strange thing. During boot it can be seen:
acpi_cpu0: Got C2 - 205 latency
acpi_cpu0: Got C3 - 245 latency
, but after boot in sysctl we can see:
dev.cpu.0.cx_supported: C1/3 C2/245

It respecting latency it looks like not C3 got lost, but C2. AFAIR,
sysctl numbers C-states completely abstract, just as array indexes. So
thing reported as C2 could instead be C3, while C2 is absent for some
reason.
