I'm working on bringing in some laptop (and especially thinkpad) specific 
ACPI code from FreeBSD into DragonFly. I never touched ACPI stuff before 
and haven't followed it much either, so I have some questions.

* FreeBSD uses ACPI_SERIAL_* heavily. What's the locking situation in 
  DragonFly and why?

* As far as I can see, PCI integration is commented out in DragonFly. 
  What's the state of it and why?

* platform/pc32/acpica5/acpi_toshiba.c - why is it there? I don't think 
  that this is something pc32 specific in it and it should work in pc64 
  laptops as well. Any objections to move it into 
  dev/acpica5/acpi_toshiba/ ?

What's the current status of ACPI in general? AFAICS our acpica is quite 
old - what needs to be done to bring in newer one?
