So after digging around a bit, it turns out the pm_idle is NULL. For
some reason it is not getting set to default_idle if nothing works. I am

This seems to work as a temporary workaround, but obviously is not the
right fix yet.

hm, interesting - this is a new bug. I'm wondering where that NULL came 
from. x86 boot itself does not leave room for pm_idle to be NULL AFAICS.

One suspect would be cpuidle:

 void cpuidle_uninstall_idle_handler(void)
 {
         if (enabled_devices && (pm_idle != pm_idle_old)) {
                 pm_idle = pm_idle_old;
                 cpuidle_kick_cpus();

The other suspect would be acpi idle:

        /* Fall back to the default idle loop */
        pm_idle = pm_idle_save;

Could you try latest tip/master or the debug patch below? It should show 
where the NULL comes from, without crashing.

A third possibility is if pm_idle itself got genuinely corrupted via 
something else. In that case you should get a warning from process*.c.

Which corresponds to 

        /* Fall back to the default idle loop */
        WARN_ON_ONCE(!pm_idle_save);
        if (pm_idle_save)
                pm_idle = pm_idle_save;
        synchronize_sched();    /* Relies on interrupts forcing exit from idle. */
