Could you add a printf to the start of acpi_cpu_detach()?  I want to see
if we're being called before or after ACPI is stopped ("Shutting down
ACPI").  Also, please do:
   l *AcpiGetRegister+0x61
I think it's the call to get the bus master status, which is interesting
since this means that cpu_cx_count != 0 which means that acpi_cpu_detach
hasn't run yet.
