Basically works (device exploration and regular controls)
Sleep modes:
hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S3 S4 S5
hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5
hw.acpi.sleep_button_state: S3
hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE
hw.acpi.standby_state: S1
hw.acpi.suspend_state: S3

It goes to sleep, then return but video does not awake :(

acpi_video.ko loads but does not do anything.

project evil works:

One time see "no buffer space available on this interface while
transferring large amount of data.

works, as result I have 4 usbd buses detected:

do not try external USB2.0 device

Yes, on USB bus, works:

It detected, I do not try to plugin anything:

ok, orinoco silver works:
cbb0: <RF5C475 PCI-CardBus Bridge> irq 9 at device 5.0 on pci2
cardbus0: <CardBus bus> on cbb0

> Sound (what chip, is it works ?, any porblems)

all ok (snd_ich.ko):
pcm0: <Intel ICH4 (82801DB)> port 0x18c0-0x18ff,0x1c00-0x1cff mem
0xd0000800-0xd00008ff,0xd0000c00-0xd0000dff irq 9 at device 31.5 on pci0
pcm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
pcm0: <Yamaha YMF753 AC97 Codec>

> Memory stick seen ? (as ATA device or as USB umass device ?)

Ok, but seen twice: once asn usb1.1 device and once as usb2.0 device:
umass0: Sony USB Memory Stick Slot, rev 2.00/1.10, addr 2
umass0: Get Max Lun not supported (STALLED)
umass1: Sony USB Memory Stick Slot, rev 2.00/1.10, addr 2
umass1: Get Max Lun not supported (STALLED)
umass0: at uhub3 port 1 (addr 2) disconnected
umass0: detached
da0 at umass-sim1 bus 1 target 0 lun 0

as result connected as usb2 device.

Enhanced SpeedStep driver works amaising:
# sysctl hw | fgrep est
hw.est_curfreq: 600
hw.est_freqs: 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1700
#

Problems:

- main problem, I can't control video via acpi, so:
  - it does not restore video after suspend (both syscons or X), 
  - if I boot on battery and them plugin AC it still uses power-save
screen back-light mode.
- there no driver for win-modem (expected problem):
none1 at pci0:31:6:        class=0x070300 card=0x8140104d chip=0x24c68086
rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Intel Corporation'
    device   = '82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Modem
Controller'
    class    = simple comms
