Not yet, which is why I left the noacpi kernel as is. boot -c doesn't work
with USB keyboards and there is no easy and reliable way to fix that, that
I know of yet.

I hope to come up with a decent way to disable it at boot, and to make it
persistent (bootprops). In an ideal world it would be nice to be able to
reverse it at runtime with cpuctl... But, one thing at a time :-)
