ACPI on my Thinkpad T23 is now broken. In 1.6ZD it appeared to work fine,
although acpitz would report temperatures ~60c. At boot and in intervals
thereafter I get the following:

    ACPI-1283: *** Error: Method execution failed
    [\_TZ_.THM0._TMP] (Node 0xc198fe60), AE_NOT_EXIST
    acpitz0: failed to evaluate _TMP: 0x6

An envstat -r doesn't report anything and the kernel spits out:

    ACPI-1283: *** Error: Method execution failed
    [\_SB_.PCI0.LPC_.EC__.BAT0._STA] (Node 0xc1987060), AE_NOT_EXIST

This is from -current as of ~12 hours ago.
