You need to rebuild the kernel.  Add the following line to kernel 
configuration:

	options	ACPI_DEBUG

Then, type this from loader prompt:

	set debug.acpi.layer=ACPI_ALL_COMPONENTS
	set debug.acpi.level=ACPI_LV_ALLOCATIONS
	boot

You will be able to trace all refcount changes.  Once it boots, login 
and do this to turn it off:

	sysctl debug.acpi.layer=NONE

However, I am afraid it will spit out too much information for you to 
interpret the data. :-(
