So after bisecting between v3.11..v3.12 range, git bisect told me:

the first bad commit is 551f5c74e17ba9257cdc35bf657ee448cad2d5b0

Merge branch 'acpi-processor'

    * acpi-processor:
      ACPI / processor: Acquire writer lock to update CPU maps
      ACPI / processor: Remove acpi_processor_get_limit_info()

The two commits brought by the merge are not the culprits because
reseting HEAD on "ACPI / processor: Acquire writer lock to update CPU
maps" doesn't have the issue anymore.

At that point I'm not sure how to bisect futher.

Hope that helps.

Thanks
