Since "dell-smm-hwmon" seems to be an alias of the i8k module, and based on the solution from the #100121 of the kernel bug tracker, blacklist "dell-smm-hwmon" resolved the issue at least on my Dell Studio XPS 8000. I tried many hard reboots to confirm this.

However i don't really know this module and can't say if blacklisting it is free of side effects.

i'd argue that this module concerns DELL laptops as it's modinfo description suggests but my DELL studio XpS 8000 is a desktop, not a laptop.
