 Could it be that the problem is ACPI-related?
 
 In NetBSD 6, ACPI 3.0 was working OK on this machine,
 but after the upgrade to 8, bootloader was rebooting
 when booting the kernel, so I changed settings to
 ACPI 2.0 in the BIOS settings, and it worked OK.
 I see some ACPI-related functions in the backtrace,
 so it made me nod...
 
 I'm asking... if a bug in BIOS or the kernel ACPI code
 could lead to this panic?
