intel_idle enabled and the patch above applied. Got 1 feedback for now
which tells that 1 out of 2 shutdown attempts failed. This is on Asus
N61JQ (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27412).

intel_idle + patch above doesn't help to the boot hang of Asus X61S.

Does booting with "nolapic" help on all of the affected systems?

Also, does disabling the CPUidle during boot help?

Finally, is the problem reproducible with CONFIG_NO_HZ unset?
