Subject: [REGRESSION] clockevents patch causes hang on power off

I'm having trouble with my PC crashing just as it's attempting to power off.
I managed to git bisect to this commit:

clockevents: Prevent clockevent_devices list corruption on cpu hotplug
bb6eddf7676e1c1f3e637aa93c5224488d99036f

http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/71157/

I've tested with 2.6.33-rc5 with and without this patch to confirm
everything works when I revert the patch.

I managed to copy down some of the output, but if need be I can try
hooking up the serial port.
