ACPI & battery issues

I know it means that on my S10e I no longer get spammed with ACPI errors - and that my battery status and shutdown work properly.

Thanks for the patch. Unfortunately the hard drive in the laptop in
question broke and I'm waiting for a replacement. I will test it when
I reinstall freeBSD though. Thanks for the patch.
