Filing a PR against -current is kinda pointless. It would be more useful
to know where things actually die, which will probably involve having you
boot with a serial console, and possibly do some ACPI debugging.
Also, make sure you have the most recent BIOS for your system. I know
that John Baldwin is running a 5000e with ACPI, modulo some limitations.

Not really, no.
