This is not a good idea; ACPI isn't "on" or "off", and by the time
rc.conf is running it's too late to en/disable it. There are several
seperate policy items that need to be tweaked, and ideally the policy
daemon will autodetect ACPI and quit if it's not supported, so it would
be on all the time.

Please don't do this; it's there specifically as a goad to me to write
acpi(9), which I'm trying to get to sooner rather than later.
