It seems that new cpu powermanagement implementation changed how handle cpu pm features.
see openindiana bug http://www.illumos.org/issues/249
This feature request is to merge back old state methood so older processors also can have working cpu pm features.

There is no "old driver" - powernow was always an add-on. I don't know what changed between 134 and the current build that would cause your CPU to lose frequency scaling.

Hi
Some browsing in net.
It seems frequency scaling support detection has changed what comes to P-state and C-state detection.

This feature request is : could illumos have both P and C state support ?

Illumos supports for P and C state but not on your system.
This issue is more related to the problem from http://www.illumos.org/issues/249 and needs investigation there.
