This is better suited towards freebsd-questions, so I'm going to copy this
to that list.

It is my understanding that ACPI depreciates APM, and that APM was mainly
used in the 4.x branch. If anyone is the wiser, please correct me.

me that's not possible with 5.X there is no possibility to use a kind of
makedev).
