  It just halts the system. No message is printed at all. Note that if the cable is plugged in, everything works as expected.

On the 3.6 release or the master?

This happens on master. But I guess, it also fails on 3.6, but I haven't tried!
IIRC, I had a similar problem with "ale" on an ASUS EEE book a few years ago, but I might be completely wrong here.

Note that on the Lenovo the AR8151 controller would hang the system a few seconds after the cable is unplugged. Unplugging the cable and replugging it now works :)

Should this be MFC'd?

yes, it should be safe to MFC. but probably there are not many alc0 users out there :)
