It works, kind of. The only remaining problem is that the DMI scan routines are called _after_ the PnP BIOS scan, so the is_sony_vaio_laptop variable will be always evaluated to 0 in your patch (causing the same hang again). After manually changing is_sony_vaio_laptop to 1 the patched kernel boots ok, entries in /proc/bus/pnp are present (not sure how to test if their contents are corect though).
