More likely it is just differences in the ACPI support in the BIOS.
I see the same message on one of my machines running 6-STABLE.
On another machine also running 6-STABLE it instead says:
  hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest: C1 -> C1
Neither system has that option referenced in /etc/sysctl.conf

Everything seems to work fine so I don't worry about it.
