http://people.freebsd.org/~peter/acpi.diff Note that this is for -current only. This fixes a bug in certain writes that can cause an additional read to the location immediately before. This happens to be bad for the SMI call mechanism on the Sony VAIO laptop series (eg: PCG-F690). With careful BIOS settings, this patch gets me up and running. Your mileage may vary, but I'm keen to know what this does (or does not) do for people who had previously been unable to run acpica in -current. I still do not know why, but I need to set 'CPU Speed: Full' in the bios vs. 'Auto'. Otherwise I get a random hang at a later SMI call. I have some theories about what is causing this, but nothing firm yet.
