Modern machines not always have the "pc compatible" parts like the cmos/clock
or keyboard/mouse connector, but replace them with (typically) i2c connected
devices. Windows stopped requiring that level of hardware compatibility some
time ago and manufactures (naturally) use the new options.

Parts of the "fallout" is hidden by ACPI glue.

We are lacking a few drivers in that area, I see the same when booting
NetBSD on my wife's notebook. Older NetBSD versions just did not print the
message (but the CMOS/clock did not work any better with them).
