Just to make 150% sure that the code pinpointed by the git bisect
process is at fault, here are two test kernels. One is marked "good",
the other "bad". The good one should obviously reboot OK, while the bad
one is expected to crash on reboot as reported in this bug. The kernels
are based on the 2.6.38 final mainline release.

To test these, please make sure that you're loading the ene_ir module,
meaning that the workaround I propose in the earlier comment is *not*
implemented.

One other way to check is to do:

sudo lsmod | grep ene_ir

This should output something if the module is loaded, or nothing if the
module is not in use.

Please report back on whether these two kernels behave as predicted; if
so, we will have identified the faulty code and we could potentially
file an upstream bug or request the help of someone more knowledgeable
about kernel and drivers.

As usual, please do this at your leisure, I don't want to impose on your
time.

Thanks again!
