Hi,

Recently commit to ppc code that also decouples the isa+acpi
attachment into separate case, that makes my ppc and lpt disappear
if acpi is loaded as a module. (see the thread "lpt0 disappear (ppc
related) on -current) 

However, i386/conf/NOTES says that building acpi into module is
deprecated. Just wondering why amd64 uses acpi in kernel conf
(I'm not sure about other arch), and on i386 we said this is a
deprecated usage?

Regards.
