I haven't verified whether this solves the problem I asked about -- I 
actually asked on behalf of one of our company's partners who has the 
troublesome hardware, and I haven't yet given them an updated kernel to 
test.  I see that Nate Lawson committed a patch based on kern/94939 to 
resolve the reboot problem (rev. 1.220 of src/sys/dev/acpica/acpi.c 
indicates that the reset fix should be merged to RELENG-6 within a 
couple of weeks).  I thought someone else recently added a patch to 
resolve the hang on boot without a legacy keyboard controller, but I 
can't seem to find the current status of the keyboard controller fix.
