The HP EliteBook G3 850 has a weird bug where a subsequent cold boot hangs while plugged in if Linux enables the Host Notify features of i2c-i801. The cold boot hang depends on how the system boots. It does not hang on UEFI Grub text boot or legacy Grub text boot. But it does hang on legacy Grub graphical boot and Intel Boot Agent PXE text boot. Booting unplugged is not affected. Disabling the Host Notify feature with disable_feature=0x20 works around the bug, so automatically do so based on DMI information.
