I just posted an updated patch Alex on other thread.
Attaching here again for your reference. Please try
it out and see if the you still get a hang.

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: OMAP4: Fix the boot regression with CPU_IDLE enabled

On OMAP4 panda board, there have been several bug reports about boot
hang and lock-ups with CPU_IDLE enabled. The root cause of the issue
is missing interrupts while in idle state. Commit cb7094e8 {cpuidle / omap4 :
use CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP flag} moved the broadcast notifiers to common
code for right reasons but on OMAP4 which suffers from a nasty ROM code
bug with GIC, commit ff999b8a {ARM: OMAP4460: Workaround for ROM bug ..},
we loose interrupts which leads to issues like lock-up, hangs etc.

Patch reverts commit cb7094 {cpuidle / omap4 : use CPUIDLE_FLAG_TIMER_STOP
flag} and 54769d6 {cpuidle: OMAP4: remove timer broadcast initialization} to
avoid the issue. With this change, OMAP4 panda boards, the mentioned
issues are getting fixed. We no longer loose interrupts which was the cause
of the regression.

it does not hang this time.

but I am not sure it can solve my problem, since RCU stall is not easy
to reproduce in short time.

You may want to run the system longer if you can. I suspect the RCU stall
was also side effect of missing interrupts.

Sure. it do remove the RCU stall on my panda board.
