Hi,
OpenBSD does not support loading custom AML code like FreeBSD/Linux
do, OpenBSD makes due with whatever it is available.. unfortunately
that can mean garbage.

That's good, OpenBSD has some heuristics that try to determine if it
should use apm(4)+pcibios(4) or acpi(4).. but it doesn't always make
the right choice.
You can make your choice permanent using the config(8) program like so:
$ sudo config -e -o /bsd.new /bsd
OpenBSD 4.5 (GENERIC) #0: Sun Oct 4 14:36:31 EDT 2009
[email protected]:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC
Enter 'help' for information
ukc> disable acpi
459 acpi0 disabled
ukc> quit
Saving modified kernel.
$ sudo ln /bsd /obsd
$ sudo mv /bsd.new /bsd
It might also be a good idea to send an ACPI dump to the developers..
$ mkdir acpi; cd acpi
$ sudo acpidump -o vaio-pcg-672r
$ sudo acpidump > vaio-pcg-672r.aml
$ tar cvzf vaio-pcg-672r.tgz vaio*
Good luck.
