I would recommend a careful reading of the ACPI spec (and perhaps some of
the supporting materials available from various sources) to gain a
fundamental understanding of ACPI.
The questions you're asking indicate that explaining how ACPI is likely
to be used in FreeBSD would involve covering a lot of material that is
presented better elsewhere already.
