Bug Description

System hangs on shutdown at "Target Poweroff" since updating from 16.04LTS to 18.04LTS.
I have since tried cosmic and now disco with the same results.
Using ukuu I have diagnosed the issue to a change between linux 4.6.2 and 4.6.3
Any linux version 4.6.3=> will hang at shutdown.
Both full installations and live images have the same result, I also have two devices with the same issue.

In addition I should mention I have tried many workarounds suggested on forums and in IRC.
This includes but not confined to running with:- noapic nolapic and both Windows and Linux acpi_osi

If the issue is RCU (Read-Copy-Update) or Memory-Management related and specific to the AMD Turion X2 the most obvious suspect commits between v4.6.2..v4.6.3 are:
