What are the advantages of using ACPI?

(when I ran solaris on my last x86 gear, I had to disable it as all it did 
was seem to cause problems!)

ACPI is not enabled by default on 4.x (and it is experimental code,
not suitable for general users).  Generally you should leave ACPI
enabled on 5.x unless it causes problems, in which case you should
proceed with the usual bug reporting process (research existing
information about the problem, provide a full bug report, etc).
