Subject: [Dell XPS 13 9343] Random kernel Oops at boot with "acpi=ht", disappearing with "acpi=off"

Hi,
This laptop suffers of random kernel hangs at boot: I tested kernel 4.1.8, 
4.2.1 and 4.3-rc3 and they are all affected.
Every time I turn on my laptop I have to boot several times to be able to 
reach the sddm login because often I get hangs which prevent the system to 
boot. Once booted I don't have any problem anymore, until the next boot.

With "acpi=off" the system boots flawlessly, while with "acpi=ht" I still 
get random hangs, so I guess the problem is in the ACPI table parsing code 
itself, or perhaps the SMP code.

I recompiled kernel 4.3-rc3 with CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y and I attached full 
log from a serial console, booting with "debug acpi.debug_level=0x2003" 
(warn, error and tables debug enabled):

Distro is Arch Linux. Please let me know if you need further logs.
