it looks like this problem disappears if CONFIG_CPU_IDLE option is
disabled, system seems to be stable for more than one hour. This
suggests that something may be wrong with the CPU_IDLE code. I can not
spend much more time by debugging the kernel, but if anyone has an
suggestion about what to fix, I will gladly test it.

Best regards,
