7ec0a7290797f57b780f792d12f4bcc19c83aa4f is first bad commit
commit 7ec0a7290797f57b780f792d12f4bcc19c83aa4f

ACPI: processor: use .notify method instead of installing handler
directly
This patch adds a .notify() method. The presence of .notify() causes
Linux/ACPI to manage event handlers and notify handlers on our behalf,
so we don't have to install and remove them ourselves.

However, reverting this commit from v2.6.30-rc1 doesn't solve the hang.
