2.6.38 dmesg with bf325f9538d8c89312be305b9779edbcb436af00 reverted

Hello,

I tested kernels from kernel.org:

v2.6.37.6   -> OK
v2.6.38.1   -> failed
v2.6.38-rc1 -> failed

With git bisect I could isolate the commit that results into the crash:

    ACPI / PM: Register power resource devices as soon as they are needed

    Depending on the organization of the ACPI namespace, power resource
    device objects may generally be scanned after the "regular" device
    objects that they are referred from through _PRn.  This, in turn, may
    cause acpi_bus_get_power_flags() to attempt to access them through
    acpi_bus_init_power() before they are registered (and initialized by
    acpi_power_driver).  [This is not a theoretical issue, it actually
    happens for one PnP device on my testbed HP nx6325.]

    To fix this problem, make acpi_bus_get_power_flags() attempt to
    register power resource devices as soon as they have been found in
    the _PRn output for any other devices.

I could build and run a 2.6.38 kernel with the above commit reverted. It boots
with no problem (with acpi support)
The corresponding dmesg is in attachement
