Yes, I did file the bug on kernel.org:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10728

Unfortunately I cannot test this issue anymore since I've changed my
laptop since then and in my current laptop there are no such problems.

I did what Andrew Morton suggested in my bug report there. However, it
couldn't help find the cause since the pause doesn't happen when the
kernel boots up, but when init has been running for quite a bit already.
 In the end I wasn't even sure anymore if this was actually a kernel bug
or maybe something with udev, as some comments by Marco Piazza suggested
in the upstream bug report.

If I'm the only one who had this problem, I'm fine with simply closing
this bug report. For me the bug got fixed by buying a new laptop. ;)
