FWIW I did that bisect last night, and that fingered commit
f11aef69b235bc30 ("Merge branch 'pm-cpuidle'") as the first bad commit.

Either there's some subtle interaction, or it's less reproducible than I
thought and the "good" commits are only "possibly-good". I'll try to dig
into that.

FWIW, my bisect log is:
