Bingo!  Looks like you nailed it.  I got home from vacation, updated
to the latest -current, confirmed it was still broken, and applied
your patch (which still applied cleanly).  I had to change a couple of
identifiers to make it compile:

    APIC_TRIGGER_LEVEL     ==> TRIGGER_LEVEL
    APIC_POLARITY_ACTIVEHI ==> POLARITY_ACTIVE_HIGH

I assume those were just typos, and I hope I guessed the right
replacements.  Anyway, now the system boots and runs fine with ACPI
enabled, and things like "shutdown -p" do the right thing.  Thanks!
Your patch looks like a keeper.
