This probably won't help, but the committed code moved the OID. It's now
dev.acpi_ibm.

Make sure that you are no longer applying any patches. I believe that
/sys/dev/acpi_support/acpi_ibm should be at v1.6.

You should have logged "acpi_ibm0: <IBM ThinkPad ACPI Extras> on acpi0"
to messages and the console when the module is loaded.
(I'm not SURE that it can be loaded and work after boot, since I have it
in /boot/loader.conf.)
