 I thought I was, but then I had a freeze too when I used the GENERIC
 kernel and used userconf to "disable acpicpu". So whatever it is, it
 isn't specifically in acpicpu. (It must be something since january
 though since that is when I built the so-far-still-working kernel).

 I have done that, I am running it now. Of course, so far no freezes or
 diagnostics. I'll keep using it for a while to see if it will tell us
 something.

 Output attached below. I x-ed out some serial numbers.

 Yes that sounds right. Since the repeating messages disappear with
 acpicpu, that fixes the original issue of the PR. The secondary issue,
 the freezing, now seems to be unrelated to acpicpu proper.
