TSC instead of ACPI: powerd doesn't work anymore (to be expected?)

Boy, I'm just becoming the voice of not-so-new hardware, aren't I?  ;)

My PPro uses the i8254.  So does my P133 laptop.  I presume most other
Pentium-era machines, and probably PII's, do as well.  When DID ACPI
become the common case?
