Could be several things, the latest one to hit /. is pcie_aspm=force http://linux.slashdot.org/story/11/06/27/0459252/Nailing-the-Cause-of- Recent-Linux-Power- Issues?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Slashdot%2Fslashdot+%28Slashdot%29 Or, you could grep the Makefile[1] for "lockups".
