There was more detail on IronForge's problem posted to bugs@; a brief look at the trace output shows a failure to store AML code type 8; you may compare it to this problem report on tech@ which fails to store AML code type 100. Both IronForge's report and the report on tech@ were using a -current kernel from the last week of March 2013.

The CVS log for the module containing aml_store -- sys/dev/acpi/dsdt.c -- has had four patches since then which might resolve aml_store panics.

Unfortunately, all I know of AML is how to spell it and then look it up in Wikipedia:

Hardware interface

ACPI-compliant systems interact with hardware through either a "Function Fixed Hardware (FFH) Interface", or a platform-independent hardware programming model which relies on platform-specific ACPI Machine Language (AML) provided by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
