ACPI is, but that's got problems of its own; the errata has some information to help you work around it, but the real solutions have been taking time to work out on -CURRENT and will probably not get backported to the release branch. Those are the breaks with running a developers' version. Still, if you try to use ACPI, with the workarounds, you might be able to get it running.
