- Add port for sysutils/devcpu
This kernel module provides access to i386/amd64 CPUs MSR (Model Specific Register) registers and cpuid info through /dev/cpu%d devices, where %d corresponds to cpu number. It can be used with x86info to retrive information available from MSR registers. Additionally, this module can be used to update/replace microcode of cpus. PR: ports/ports/102454 Submitted by: stas

+CPU kernel module was installed.
+
+To load it, issue
+
+% kldload cpu
+
+Then you can access MSR registers or cpuid info via /dev/cpu%d or using
+3d-party programs, e.g. x86info.
+
+For information regarding microcode update feature refer to
+cpu_mictocode_tool(4) manpage.
+
+Please, report any problems to maintainer. Thanks!
