My machine (SONY VAIO FS-215B) just hangs/freezes (no oops, no MAGIC_SYSRQ) 
after writing "ACPI: Power Button (CM) [PWRB]" on screen

...
Machine check exception polling timer started.

System boots fine with hpet=disable and by the way, i tried the first version 
of this patchset without a problem (if i remembered correctly, it was just 
force detects the hpet but only enables for x86_64)
