not sure if your patch is the offending one now.
kL: kernel from linus tree
kT1: kernel from tip
kT2: kernel from tip with reverting your patch
BIOS-->kL ---> kL ---> kL....always working
BIOS-->kT1 ---> kT1 ---> kT1 : between second one and third one system reset instant...
BIOS-->kT2 ---> kT2 ---> kT2 : between second one and third one system reset instant...
BIOS-->kL ---> kL ---> kL ---> then kT1 ---> kT1 .... always working
BIOS-->kL ---> kL ---> kL ---> then kT2 ---> kT2 .... always working
looks like first kernel and second one can not be kernel from tip.
