OK, as per Brendan's suggestion I blacklisted the ite-cir module, by creating /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ite-cir.conf with this content:

blacklist ite_cir

then I rebooted with the 3.0.0-19 kernel and it boots fine!

And to confirm that the ite-cir module is the one causing the problem, I did

sudo modprobe ite_cir

I immediately get a crash dump to a text console, panic and freeze.

I guess the next step on this one is to try the mainline kernel, I'll get to that ASAP and report back.
