That's great news for me at least.  ;-)

The 2.6.27.5 changelog shows a bunch of ACPI changes.  They may not be
responsible, but in my uninformed opinion these are the changes to look
at more closely.  Since plain bisection did not work well for you, maybe
you should ask the maintainers involved in the ACPI patches for a
priority list of patches to unapply for long-term tests.

Also look at the diffstat whether there were changes to drivers which
you use.

Furthermore, maybe the few scheduler changes may play a role.  But I
don't understand what they do, so I may be completely off.
