Okay, I'll try to resume what's going on as I think I've caused a little bit of
confusion:

- 2.6.36.x is still showing the issue on those laptops
- The problem goes away on 2.6.36.x with pci_ports=compat but this gives a
backtrace while unregistering a driver (patch to fix is available in comment
#23)
- A complete solution is offered within the patch in comment #29

Then I tried 2.6.37_rc7-git4 with the patch in comment #23 to see at least if
the backtrace is fixed when booting with pcie_ports=compat.

A plain reboot (with no pcie_ports=compat) cured the kworker issue.

Either the switch to 2.6.37_rc* cured the issue or the patch that I've taken
from fedora f-15 entitled "PCI: _OSC "supported" field should contain supported
features, not enabled ones". That was the patch I misleadingly told as "from
upstream", sorry.

Then last night, I switched to 2.6.37_rc8 which already contains your patch in
comment #23. I also put the patch in comment #29 on top of it and dropped the
"PCI: _OSC .." patch from Matthew Garrett.

But unfortunately a lot of machines broke while booting this kernel. I'll send
the photo just after this comment.

2.6.37_rc8+patch#29 ACPI trace

The crash seems to be caused by the patch from comment #29, which apparently
tries to parse the HEST table too early.

However, you appear to say that the patch from comment #29 on top of 2.6.36.y
works correctly.  Is that also the case on machines that crash with
2.6.37-rc8 + the patch from comment #29 (I mean, if those machines are
booted with 2.6.36.y + patch from comment #29, do they boot correctly or
crash)?
