Since ACPI now works for me, I went ahead and upgraded my notebook's BIOS.
Sure enough, it fixed that error above.  Suspend is non-functional, but
battery status and cpu throttling are working, so I'm happy. :)

Does devd receive lid status events?  I'm thinking that it would be
advantageous for my battery life if I could throttle the cpu down whenever
the lid is closed.
