Will run from now for a couple of weeks with CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=n;
 I checked my logs and noticed my first hang happened with 2.6.2, but
 so far I only experienced the problem twice since Feb 6.

I just now noticed that in /var/log I have the full Oops traces
 (until I Alt-SysRq'd out of it), so I'm attaching them; would you
 please take a further look and confirm this is _only_ an ACPI-related
 issue ?

messages.gz is 2.6.3-rc3, messages.2.gz is 2.6.2 vanilla.
