8380f272e6 Parse hint.acpi.0.disabled correctly.
Now that hint.acpi.0.disabled="0" won't disable acpi as expected.

Fix device hints entry for disabling acpi(4).
This also should fix the arbitration with apm(4) when both drivers
are enabled.

Note that your /boot/device.hints needs to be updated if you want to
stop auto-loading acpi.ko or disable acpi(4).

438b0be9fa Don't auto load ACPI -- it causes trouble with my laptop and is TOTALLY
undocumented how to control its loading and queries to freebsd-current
go unanswered.

505222d35f Implement the long-awaited module->file cache database. A userland
tool (kldxref(8)) keeps a cache of what modules and versions are inside
what .ko files.  I have tested this on both Alpha and i386.

ad41f9a8f7 Teach the loader how to find the system ACPI information, and autoload
the ACPI module if the system apperars to be ACPI compliant.

This is an initial cut; the load should really be done by Forth support
code, and we should check both the BIOS build date and a blacklist.

c73b70eec4 Bootloader update.
- Implement a new copyin/readin interface for loading modules.
   This allows the module loaders to become MI, reducing code duplication.
 - Simplify the search for an image activator for the loaded kernel.
 - Use the common module management code for all module metadata.
 - Add an 'unload' command that throws everything away.
 - Move the a.out module loader to MI code, add support for a.out
   kld modules.

c2f9d95de5 This is the new unified bootstrap, sometimes known previously as the
'three-stage' bootstrap.
There are a number of caveats with the code in its current state:
 - The i386 bootstrap only supports booting from a floppy.
 - The kernel and kld do not yet know how to deal with the extended
   information and module summary passed in.
 - PnP-based autodetection and demand loading of modules is not implemented.
 - i386 ELF kernel loading is not ready yet.
 - The i386 bootstrap is loaded via an ugly blockmap.

On the alpha, both net- and disk-booting (SRM console machines only) is
supported.  No blockmaps are used by this code.

Obtained from:	Parts from the NetBSD/i386 standalone bootstrap.
