Enhanced Speedstep and Thermal Management. They're useful if you want
to use powerd to conserve power / reduce heat generation. (load the
cpufreq driver and look in sysctl dev.cpu)

Not sure on this, but you're probably better off using EST anyway as I
think it gives you more control over the processor frequency.

Just formatting. USB (and a lot more) was under GIANT in 5.x as well,
but 5.x didn't tell you which drivers were running under GIANT. 6.x
does as a gentle reminder that those areas need to be worked on ;)
