Right, sorry.

At least, 3.16-rc7 was affected too.

Well, there's no particular workload type. The machine in question is my home 
router with x2go session, torrents, i2p and tor. And the most difficult is to 
wait for the hang to occur, as it happens ~1 time per 24 hours or so (could be 
much sooner or a little bit later).

Also, I've noticed that there's no need to load CPU intentionally with some 
test scripts to trigger this bug as CPU frequencies are jumping constantly:
