ACPI implementation on FreeBSD

Almost all modern computer system hardware allows its power usage to be managed and its temperature to be monitored and kept at the appropriate level. This allows users to achieve the best performance from a system for a given level of power usage. This is especially important for battery-driven mobile platforms where unnecessary use of power reduces battery life and thus reduces the amount of work that can be done before a recharge is necessary. It is also useful in desktop environments where devices such as computer monitors and disk drives can be powered down during idle times to reduce energy consumption.
