Hi Rafael,

The bisect result found commit c0f4dfd4f as culprit. I also verified 
that the merge into Linus' tree introduced the issue upstream, ie. 
6c24499 works and 1f889ec does not. I tried to revert the commit, but 
that was a bit risky (conflict to resolve) and did not give me a stable 
kernel. The only thing that works is selecting acpi=off. I tried also 
nohz=off but that resulted in /init failure.

Regards,
Arend

           rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ take advantage of numbered callbacks

           Because RCU callbacks are now associated with the number
           of the grace period that they must wait for, CPUs can now
           take advance callbacks corresponding to grace periods that
           ended while a given CPU was in dyntick-idle mode. This
           eliminates the need to try forcing the RCU state machine
           while entering idle, thus reducing the CPU intensiveness
           of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, which should increase its energy
           efficiency.
