This is definitely something that is ACPI-related. I updated my
sources to the last commit before the start of the ACPI import:
build@flame:/home/build/src$ cvs -qR up -APd -D '2005/11/01 22:00:00 UTC'
Rebuilt everything and I see no panics now.
I'll use the watchpoint trick Nate posted when I have a new build
to test.
