Thanks to you and Pierre for stepping up for help.

OK, good, someone already produced a patch on the BR and it seems to be a 
stupid mistake. So could you start kinfocenter/trunk and confirm that it 
crashes in Solid::Backends::Hal::Processor::instructionSets().

Then apply the patch attached to the BR:
http://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=35651

And test again to confirm it indeed fixes the problem. I tested it and I see 
no regression on my side (though now that I see the stupid mistake I made, I'm 
wondering how it was even working on my CPU) now we really need to be sure the 
diagnostic was right and the fix too.

Regards.
