I've tried to track down the bad commit but so far I haven't been successfull. The only workaround I found is to set the idle boot parameter to mwait and to disable CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE. Somehow the kernel seems to set idle to poll by default - no idea why :-(. I wonder if other mobile sandy bridge cpus are affected as well.
There are only a few changesets affecting drivers/idle
Can you try to git revert
