I fixed that bug in the later patches, e.g.,

http://people.freebsd.org/~jkim/acpi_cx_native.diff

However, it doesn't work yet.  Please see below.

It is a known problem and the above patch hangs, too. :-(

Actually, I abandoned the patches and I am thinking about rewriting it 
from scratch, e.g., refactoring MI/MD support code 
(dev/acpica/acpi_cpu.c -> machine/machdep.c & acpica/acpi_machdep.c).  
Unfortunately, I don't have much time nor hardware to test, so it 
won't happen any time soon.  Sorry.

If anyone wants to pick it up from here, please feel free.
