dmesg is not necessary.  The only way to find what is hanging is to keep
working printfs deeper into the _BIF method.  Start with
AcpiEvaluateObject in sys/contrib/dev/acpica/nsxfeval.c and sprinkle
printf A, B, C etc. throughout to find where it hangs.  Alternatively, if
you have a serial console and gdb, you can step through the method.
