I ran this through my test scripts and I'm now quite sure that there's
some breakage in here.

One of my tests is running two VMs in parallel, each booting up, running
hackbench, and then doing reboot (from within the guest), and just
repeating like that.

I've run your patches in the above config 100 times, and every time,
the rebooting VMs got stuck before 50 reboots.

Without these patches, I could run the above config 100 times, and every
time, the rebooting VMs passed 200 reboots.

I'll try to test each patch individually soon.
