Also, I believe I fixed my kernel hardlocks by disabling my motherboard
chipset's buggy IOMMU. The IOMMU for Intel VT-D on the ASUS P6T Deluxe
motherboard is so buggy that it makes VT-d completely unusable on this
motherboard. ASUS seems unwilling to patch their broken BIOS, maybe because the
hardware is just broken.

Anyway, I can't reproduce the kernel hardlock with Linux 3.0-rc2 and the IOMMU
disabled in the BIOS (VT-d set to disabled).
