Your system is halting correctly but powering off is failing.  A cursory
glance at your ASL shows nothing particularly amiss.  It's very similar to
my laptop (T23).

This was fixed on Sept 21 so cvsup and recompile.  Set hw.acpi.verbose=1
in loader.conf to get more messages.

To debug this, please boot a newer kernel with the ACPI_DEBUG option with
the following options in loader.conf:

    debug.acpi.layer="ACPI_ALL_COMPONENTS ACPI_ALL_DRIVERS"
    debug.acpi.level="ACPI_LV_FUNCTIONS"

You'll get spammed with way too many messages on boot but just ignore
these.  Then do shutdown -p and log the printed messages (hopefully you
have a serial console).

I'll map the debugging tunables to a sysctl since it would be better if
you could just set this just before testing rather than for the full boot.
