Well, your ASL advertises an acpi_smbat device:

                    Device (SMB0)
                    {
                        Name (_HID, "ACPI0001")
                        Name (_EC, 0x2010)
                    }

Not sure what we can do except you can add this to loader.conf:
    debug.acpi.disabled="smbat"
