Sorry for the long silence. Yes, that is believable; thanks for
tracking it down.
I haven't yet mulled over the above evidence carefully, but here are
some basic questions anyway.
- Does the latest squeeze kernel exhibit the same problem? How about
a sid kernel?
- Does 2.6.32-29 (available on snapshot.debian.org) behave the same
way?
- Does backing out the patch "x86, hotplug: Use mwait to offline a
processor, fix the legacy case" that Frédéric mentioned[1] help?
Looking forward to your thoughts,
Jonathan
