This one should prevent -EINVAL from being returned. Hopefully.

Hard to say at this point. Since the nucleus watchdog does not trigger,
you may want to try disabling X86_UP_IOAPIC while keeping X86_UP_APIC,
and arm the kernel NMI watchdog on the LAPIC (nmi_watchdog=2). You may
be lucky and have a backtrace after the freeze.
PS: maybe enabling all the nucleus debug options would catch something too.
