Hugh,
  looks you are right person to ask per https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/23/9 

What can I do now with my system? Is it so that for unknown reason 
(misinterpreted ACPI condition?)
/dev/sdb was stopped by SandyBridge and after an hour when shell redirects of 
valgrind's STDOUT
and STDERR to a file filled up some kernel buffers (because could not write to 
/mnt/external)
the ext4 driver choked?

# cat /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
0
#

Have app-laptop/laptop-mode-tools-1.63-r2 on Gentoo Linux.

Thank you,
Martin
