It's now fixed, in 2.6.30-rc2.  My battery is modular btw.  I suspect

5d38258ec026921a7b266f4047ebeaa75db358e5 "ACPI battery: fix async boot
oops" [removal of __init]

was not sufficient to fix my problem, but it was solved by the "real" fix,

d6de2c80e9d758d2e36c21699117db6178c0f517 "async: Fix module loading
async-work regression" [module loading waits on async work]


I would argue there's still a question over why the asynchronous battery
init (_with_ the oops fix) should cause a hang in the idle routine.  But
since the regression is fixed, it's not exactly an urgent question.

Thanks
