Summary

On modern Intel CPUs that use HWP (hwpstate_intel: /usr/src/sys/x86/cpufreq/hwpstate_intel.c) instead of EST,
this message prints unconditionally during probe even though it is
expected and harmless. Gated behind bootverbose to reduce console
noise on systems where EST is present but considered legacy.
