Hi Daniel, no problem :). Your patches look good! No hangs or stalls so far with semaphores and rc6 switched on. However I had to disable intel_iommu since it freezes my box shortly after firing up X :(.
One other thing still remains: Since the merges for kernel 3.2 came in late october, my cpu/gpu seems to run hotter (approx 10 °C) when idling and after some minutes the cpu load goes up on all cores but the cpu frequency stays low (800 MHz) as well as the gpu (650MHz) and the system is responding well. Yet still additional 5-8 watts are drained from the power supply. Something has to throttle up :(. Oprofile shows that the kernel somewhere hogs the cpu (see dump below). This happens with every kernel from 3.1 up to latest linux-next. I wasn't able to track the bug down yet so I guess I'll better file a bug report on lkml to get someone to verify this.
