problems with powerd and cpufreq on AMD Quad-Core A8-4555M

[John]

Hello list, I've been able to get some more info. cc'd to
freebsd-performance@ which on 2nd thoughts might have been the better 
place to ask... 

[ powerd: no cpufreq(4) support -- aborting: No such file or directory ]

Right, I've found that what this chip has is AMD Turbo Core. So really
my question is, can powerd make use of Turbo Core? Here's some sysctl
output:
