Actually, git bisect does seem to have gotten it correct.  Once I
actually tested the revert of just that on top of Linus' tree (commit
d895cb1af1), things seem to be working much better.  I've rebooted a
dozen times without a lockup.  The most I've seen it take on a kernel
with that commit included is 3 reboots, so that's definitely at least an
improvement.

Now that I seem to have narrowed down which commit is broken, I'd be
happy to test fixes, etc.  Sorry for the noise from earlier today.
