AFAICT my snb laptop has always been stable with semaphores and VT-d
enabled.  Is this problem possibly restricted to just desktop
machines?  I'm happy to test, since my box that can reproduce the hang
instantly is still around.

Also, rc6-by-default would be very nice.  It decreases the total power
consumption on my laptop from over 13W to around 8W.  That's huge.
