The problem is that the taskqueue_swi in 4.x doesn't have a thread 
context that can be slept on via tsleep().  The fix would be to create 
a kthread in which to run the ACPI tasks.  4.x already has one such 
kthread for the taskqueue_thread taskqueue that you could use as a 
reference if you wish to do this yourself.
