I just had a similar experience, and also posted to this list (today!).
I noticed that the acpi interrupt handler ec_gpe_handler eventually
calls kmalloc with the GFP_KERNEL flag. The reason this is a problem
is that kmalloc may call schedule, and you can't do that in an
interrupt. But my failed in slab.c where kmalloc checks to see if
it is not in an interrupt. So this may not be your problem per se.
The quick fix here is to change:
drivers/acpi/os.c : acpi_os_allocate
change GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC
See if this works.
There probably should be more than this to fix the problem,
but I don't know the acpi driver well enough to do so.
