I've put dmesg -v, dmesg, sysctl hw.acpi, and acpidump -dt output at:

http://shrimp.alerce.com/misc/delicious-dmesg-verbose.txt
http://shrimp.alerce.com/misc/macpro.asl
http://shrimp.alerce.com/misc/delicious-dmesg.txt
http://shrimp.alerce.com/misc/sysctl.hw.acpi

The top of the dmesg -v output seems to have scrolled out of the
buffer.

Thanks for taking a look at this.
