I would like to have the PCI bus integration sorted out first, and fix 
whatever I broke with Watanabe-san's embedded controller.  Probably 
sometime next week, I think.

I think that we should drop the aml/ stuff from the repo entirely, and 
move back to your repo on jp.freebsd.org.  It hasn't been tagged yet, so 
this should be OK.

> 2. Import ACPICA files as acpica device driver. (mike?)

I'll get some help doing an import of the Intel code on a vendor branch, 
and then apply all our diffs to it.  I think that while Intel are 
maintaining this code, we should track it this way.

> 4. Enable again acpi userland tools.

Watanabe-san also suggested that we should take some time soon to think 
about the APIs for the userland tools.  We might want to talk about this 
some more before settling on these tools, although I don't think that 
should affect the migration.

I do agree that we should commit soon, since I am holding everyone else 
up with my slow patch release cycle. 8(
