I applied this patch, rebuild and installed the kernel, set the loader.conf
directive `hint.apic.0.disabled' to "0" and reboot on the system. Sadly,
the same behaviour happened (as before), i.e. USB mouse simply hang, USB
thumbdrive doesn't work, etc.
The patch was applied on src/sys/dev/acpica/acpi_pci_link.c before your
last commit on RELENG_6 (version 1.44.2.4, 2005/11/30 16:03:55). Don't
know if this may change something or not in this case.
