Thanks for that, It kind of worked. Am I correct in thinking that, that 
prevents ACPI attaching to the controller so that the ichsmb driver 
can? In which case, if ACPI does attach to it, does that mean I'd get 
temperature values in the hw.acpi.thermal tree?

sysutils/xmbmon and sysutils/healthd can't seem to read anything from 
it anyway. Is this because the SMBus has no temperature sensors tied to 
it? It has them in the BIOS, so I assumed I could read them in FreeBSD.

I get ichsmb0: irq 0x04 during -1 in dmesg when trying healthd and

root at alexis:~/ > healthd -S
ioctl(SMB_WRITEB): Permission denied
