    SubjectACPI issues on cold power on [bisected]
    I've been sitting on this for a while and should have spent time to
    investigate sooner, but it's been an odd failure mode that wasn't quite
    obvious.

    In 4.9 if I cold power on my laptop (Dell E7240) it fails to boot - I
    don't see anything after grub says its booting. In 4.10 onwards the
    laptop boots, but I get an Oops as part of the boot and ACPI is unhappy
    (no suspend, no clean poweroff, no ACPI buttons). The Oops is below;
    taken from 4.12 as that's the most recent error dmesg I have saved but
    also seen back in 4.10. It's always address 0x30 for the dereference.

    Rebooting the laptop does not lead to these problems; it's *only* from a
    complete cold boot that they arise (which didn't help me in terms of
    being able to reliably bisect). Once I realised that I was able to
    bisect, but it leads me to an odd commit:

    86d9f48534e800e4d62cdc1b5aaf539f4c1d47d6
    (mm/slab: fix kmemcg cache creation delayed issue)

    If I revert this then I can cold boot without problems.

    Also I don't see the problem with a stock Debian kernel, I think because
    the ACPI support is modularised.
