Bug 238921

Scenario:
- older laptop Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 1505
- CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU         T5500  @ 1.66GHz (1662.54-MHz K8-class CPU)
- 2 GB main memory
- ZFS used on 500 GB disk, geli partition
- X running but only as screensaver, no X session (machine handled remotely)
- using "shutdown -p now"

Result:
- In about 70% of cases, shutdown fails with ACPI errors as follows (this is typed in from a photo I took):

- From there, I can long press the power-off button to turn off the machine.

Expected result:
- In about 30% of cases, the machine shuts down successfully. This should happen everytime.
- The issue started around FreeBSD 11.0 if I remember correctly, anyway up to two years ago (maybe earlier).
- There definitely was a time when this always worked.
