freebsd stable - Sep 2008 - alpm(4) I/O range is claimed by ACPI

Hi,

How can I load the alpm(4) module for SMBus support on my ASUS Vintage 
AH-1 system?

It appears the I/O range it uses is claimed by the acpi(4) driver. Can I 
override the mapping in some way i.e. tell ACPI not to claim the range? 
I don't see anything obvious about this in the acpi(4) man page.

thanks,
BMS

Might mention this to jhb@ to see if it's related to the SMBus changes
made 1.5 years ago:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/pci/alpm.c

I found this thread, which despite being USB-centric, shows someone
trying to load alpm(4) on RELENG_6 and getting a map allocation error
back in 2003.  Not sure if this is of any help:

Hello. I have same error message on Sharp PC-CV50. 
Is it a hardware or BIOS problem ?

  The device dosen't have PCIM_CMD_PORTEN bit on PCIR_COMMAND
(address 0x04, bit 0), and dosen't have any valid address on PCIR_BAR(x).
pciconf can't write PCIR_BAR(x).

`pciconf -lv` shows:

none0@pci0:3:1:	class=0x068000 card=0x104313bd chip=0x710110b9 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Acer Labs Incorporated (ALi/ULi)'
    device     = 'ALI M7101 Power Management Controller'
    class      = bridge

and `pciconf -r pci0:3:1 0:0x1f` shows:

710110b9 02000000 06800000 00800000
00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
