I believe 5.0 will load acpi automatically if a module exists for it.
If it doesn't, rebuild your kernel with "options acpi".
I don't think there are any real docs for it yet. For setting the
switch states, run "sysctl hw.acpi" to list the switches acpi knows
about. The switch names will all end in _state and have a value of
S0..S5, S0 being "full power", S1-S3 being different sleep states, S4
being hibernate (not supported afaik), and S5 being "power off". Run
"sysctl -w hw.acpi.blahblah_state=S1" to set.
