New Revision: 237273
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/237273

Log:
  Correct misunderstanding of hw.est.strict
  
  Setting strict causes a validation of the requested
  value vs the value currently running after a frequency
  change is requested.
  
  Change applicability to be single core not i386.
  
  Thanks to mav@ for reviewing and commenting on my
  lack of understanding.
