Or someone is continuously calling acpi_hw_register_write(). I assume that the mc_sysdev_remove() in there is just stack garbage. To confirm this could you please set CONFIG_MICROCODE=n and retest? Also, it would be interesting to test whether we have introduced this bug into 2.6.24-rc2 (or -rc3, if it's out).
