Thanks for the hints! It looks like our ACPI module is broken: it's 
definitely not allowed to spawn a thread from within an interrupt 
handler.
I think I'll remove the ACPI module for now again, since it causes 
troubles and doesn't reward us with added functionality. What's your 
opinion on this, Jérôme?
