Does the following patch help?
Thanx, Paul
Rock solid! Left it overnight and no lockups so far!
Cool!!! ;-)
The reason that no one noticed until quite recently is that most systems have enough OS noise that they will never remain absolutely idle for a full minute.
Ux500 totally rocks. ;-)
My dead simple busybox userspace is very good at doing absolutely nothing...

I trust you to get this to Mr. Torvalds in no time ;-)
The good news is that it is already in -tip, and if Ingo's testing of it goes well, it should hit mainline soon. The corresponding bad news is that this means that I no longer am able to add your Reported-by and Tested-by...
I don't see this fix in 3.7, did it get superseded by something else?
I ask, because I've heard reports of the problem still being present and on investigation see this patch isn't in mainline Linux.
