I'm not sure that I'd like to be able to do that. The spec says APM and ACPI should not co-exist together. If ACPI is initialized prior than APM, APM detection will fail, as it should be. At least, some of interrupts the APM BIOS uses (System Management Interrupt) is replaced into OS-visible interrupt ( called System Control Interrupt). So event handling will not work properly.
