I haven't observed yet such issue on OMAP with 3.4 but there were issues
seen before the cpu_active fixes. You can look at commit "5fbd036b" for more
information.

In your report, you haven't mentioned much. What you mean by system
hang. What is the state of CPU's at the time of hang ? Are you getting
some CPU stalled kind of messages ? You can enable the debug support so
that kernel will panic if CPUs are stalled.
