I don't have CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP defined in .config and there's
not option using menuconfig to select this.

I don't know whether my problem is related or not on Lenovo X60s. I
can power-off on shutdown and suspend-to-ram, but screen turns green,
and doesn't power-off on suspend-to-disk. I've to manually press and
hold the power switch to switch off. System is able to resume later.
It was working as recent as last week, but something changed past few
days.
