acpi: add character device for accessing ACPI tables

The /dev/acpi character device gives an aperture into physical memory
that allows only read access to known ACPI tables: RSDP, XSDT/RSDT, and
the root tables. Adapt acpidump(8) to use this interface by default,
falling back to the old /dev/mem method if it is not available or if
ACPIDUMP_USE_DEVMEM=1 is set in the environment. The user visible benefit
of this change is that "options INSECURE" is no longer required to
dump ACPI tables.

emove an unnecessary .Dq

Improve wording

Remove Tn. Fix some mandoc lint warnings.

Fix semantic markup.

Add valz(4)

Sync with HEAD.  (Note that most of these changes are simply $NetBSD$
tag issues.)

remove npx(4) and references to it. bump dates for reference removal.

This used to refer to x87 support for x86 machines.

npx isn't really a driver any more. we don't support x86 hardware
without an FPU, and we don't call it by that name in the code or
attach it as npx at something.

brought up on tech-kern. unfortunately the copy to port-i386 disappeared
in a spam filter.

Bump date for previous.

Add sdhc(4) at acpi.

Pull up following revision(s) (requested by mrg in ticket #111):
	sys/dev/acpi/files.acpi: revision 1.95

	sys/dev/acpi/acpi_pci_link.c: revision 1.22
introduce a new option: ACPI__DIS_IS_BROKEN.  this is a hack to
avoid calling the "_DIS" method during acpi interrupt link setup,
which hangs various nforce4 based motherboards.
when the problem is properly fixed, remove this hack.  for now,
it allows someone (me) to have a valid kernel config that doesn't
require a source hack every new tree.
