There is very similar (or same) problem on desktop Dell Studio XPS 8100.
See bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100121

In your long email is missing one important information: DMI information
about your machine. Can you run dmidecode and send output?

You were able to bisect problematic commit, are you able to do some
additional test and debug root of this issue?

In my opinion problem is in some SMM call, but without commenting code
which calling it, step by step and testing is not possible to decide...
