These are bugs in the AML on your system, trying to access memory that has
not been declared. Not sure FreeBSD can do anything about this directly.
This appears to be in the battery status method.

It is possible to export the AML to ASL, fix the defective region
declarations, and load a new table at boot.  Not for the faint of heart,
though.  What kind of laptop is this?
