Just disable sio1 in /boot/device.hints. No reason to disable stuff
that you actually have! Just add hint.sio.1.disabled="1". That will
free up an IRQ.

This looks like 5.1-Release. These should be fixed in CURRENT and can
be ignored in most cases during RELEASE. (It was a chicken/egg issue
that Nate fixed doing some rather "odd" things to get some of the ACPI
code to run before it would normally be started.)
