I've ASUS UX31A unit. Intel's powertop advices to disable NMI watchdog to improve power consumption. 

But disabling of it makes kernel hanging during system reboot/shutdown when openrc tries to "remount / as readonly"

What distro are you running?
Ubuntu uses kexec for reboot, which can be problematic.
Comment 2 wolfram 2013-01-29 05:17:16 UTC
Gentoo with gentoo-sources kernel built with genkernel.

hi, Could you check whether the bug exist in the v3.10-rc4 and provide some logs during hang?
