Just tried reverting, and my problem reported in
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2005-November/057596.html
is also ACPI-related.

It also happens early on boot but panic is different (in
devfs_populate_loop()). Don't know if it's related or a different bug
introduced by the ACPI-CA import.
