I don't think much is supported at all in 1.6.

In -current, we support using ACPI instead of the PCIBIOS for
configuration, and have some primitive support for reading battery
state. We do not yet manage thermal management, so if your machine
expects ACPI fan control you could overheat. We do not yet do
suspend/resume.
