Looks like there are two different problems with dell-smm-hwmon driver:
1) Fan speed going randomly up and down without system freeze
2) System freeze at boot time and at that time fan speed goes up
I though that problem with fan speed is SMM freeze, but from your log I
see that it is not truth. And my patch seems to fix problem 2).
So for problem 1) I need to know:
* Is it regression? I.e. is there kernel version under which i8k (or
dell-smm-hwmon) is working?
* If it is regression, then I need somebody to fully fully bisect
problematic commit. And then starts reverting it on top of new kernel
versions (to check that only that commit cause problem 1)).
