Now I have been running the 3.2 kernel from testing for some days with
idle=mwait and i haven't seen the kernel stall anymore, looks good.
There is a call trace in the kernel log, though, with a message that
support for mwait will be removed soon.

Before I go on to test other kernels, one other possibility has appeared
to me: Maybe the 3.2 bug has been fixed through new CPU microcode? Is
that likely? Some days after installing the 3.4 kernel I noticed a
message about missing microcode and installed the relevant package. The
CPU/BIOS has version 0x01000086, the new version is 0x010000db. Should I
try if the error reappears when removing the microcode package?
