My laptop kernel has the following devices in it:
ata, sc, atkbdc atkbd, psm, pci, pcib, acpi
and the rest it gets from modules I load at boot time (or later).
I've been running like this for over two years and have never had a
panic related to this (except when I update the kernel w/o the
.ko's). Looks like I could go back to using the acpi module.

I also load sio as I need it, and ata_pccard which is just the pccard
attachment of ata not committed to the tree. I have some devd stuff
that is the start of doing the loading on card insertion as well.
