Machine: i386
>Description:
	The aiboost driver doesn't work with a M3A78-T board (790GX).

	This is the kernel output with AIBOOST_DEBUG and a modified
	aiboost_getcomp to get the reason for the failure:

aiboost0 at acpi0 (ASOC, ATK0110-16843024)
aiboost0: ASUS AI Boost Hardware monitor
aiboost_getcomp: AcpiGetHandle: AE_NOT_FOUND

	The DPRINTF in aiboost_getcomp should be changed so it
	use AcpiFormatException(status).

	The acpi dump contains no TSIF, VSIF nor FSIF entries.
	A dsl file is available on request.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Boot a kernel with a M3A78-T board and notice that
	envstat doesn't show any aiboost sensors.

 It is still a problem because I had to switch to the netbsd-5 branch which
 does not have the aibs(4) driver.
 Just adding the -current driver alone to my kernel would not so be easy
 because think that I need some other infrastructure changes too.

 Yes, aibs(4) would require significant updates to sysmon_envsys(9) that 
 I've been so furiously committing.  :)

 I'll have a closer look and see if there's anything that we can do.  I 
 can't make any real promises, though.

 Can you try MONOLITHIC kernel from HEAD?

 Also, as usual, acpidump(8) output is needed to diagnose this any further.

 I want to avoid booting a -current kernel since I had not so good expierence in
 the past and -current would not help me at all since I need a stable version
 on that machine.

 Sure.

 But if you boot a -current kernel, others might have a chance to understand
 whether this is something that was fixed in -current / aibs(4).

Responsible-Changed-Why:

I recently rewrote the "aiboost", or aibs(4) as it is called now, and I am
fairly confident that this has been fixed in HEAD. Please reply if this is  
not true (a.k.a. feedback timeout).
