yeah.. this bug looks a little annoying. Sadly the only Turing based
laptop I got doesn't work on Nouveau because of firmware related
issues and we probably need to get updated ones from Nvidia here :(

But it's a bit weird that the kernel doesn't shutdown, because I don't
see anything in the logs which would prevent that from happening.
Unless it's waiting on one of the tasks to complete, but none of them
looked in any way nouveau related.

If somebody else has any fancy kernel debugging tips here to figure
out why it hangs, that would be very helpful...
