True.  Also we should make apm loadable on only loader.  Loading by
kldload makes situation very complicated, I think.
Also we need some sort of arbitration mechanism for APM and ACPI.
They are no able to co-exist together at the same time.
I'll make patches tonight or tomorrow.

Yes, and maybe syscons too?  Anyway, I'll change releated code with
`#ifdev DEV_APM'.

# sorry, I'll be away until tonight...

Thanks
