OK, bisection complete.  It's not actually coming from the ACPI tree but
from the PCI one (appropriate CC's added).

The commit causing the boot panic is:

commit e8c331e963c58b83db24b7d0e39e8c07f687dbc6
Author: Kenji Kaneshige <kaneshige.kenji@...fujitsu.com>
Date:   Wed Dec 17 12:09:12 2008 +0900

    PCI hotplug: introduce functions for ACPI slot detection

I'm still not sure why, though
