Ugh. Recently I tried building the battery driver into the kernel, to
benefit from the async work. Later, I tried booting from the battery
and it hung again.

This time, the kernel did not even respond to SysRq. I tried
nmi_watchdog=1 and waiting 2 minutes, but the watchdog didn't trigger
either. As before, it doesn't happen with acpi=off.

I checked that this still happened in todays rc3, and it doesn't happen
if I revert
