Got this a bit further by adding this to the config:
options ACPI_DEBUG
options VERBOSE_SYSINIT=1

But now it tells me:
Table 'FACP' at 0xdffc0200
Table 'APIC' at 0xdffc0390
Table 'MCFG' at 0xdffc0460
Table 'OEMB' at 0xdffce040
Table 'SRAT' at 0xdffc50f0
ACPI: No SLIT table found
done.
subsystem 1000000
    vm_mem_init(0)...

So I guess that the ACPI stuff is done, and we're going to look at 
init-ing the subsystems.
But how do I translate the number to a name?
I guess it is the virtual memory init, since there is only on place that 
calls vm_mem_init.
And that is from the sysinit chain.

But I would expect things to be really bad if the system hangs in the VM 
initialisation?
