Some more information:

1. snd_emu10kx and sound are both modules loaded on boot, along with
if_re, linux, and nvidia.
2. Disabling nvidia -> no change.
3. Disabling acpi -> unbootable system because many drivers can't map
interrupts without it (can't test unless I isolate the drivers and
enable them one by one -- something I'll try later on).

I'm at a loss right now... my hunch is that it's potentially a bad
interaction between the snd_emu10kx driver and another driver on the
same PCI bus (which is just the ACPI and uhci drivers), but I can't
test these claims. There are other funky things about my system that
have changed over the past couple of kernel versions, like front USB
ports could charge my iPhone, and now they don't... and the fact that
ACPI blanking via nvidia now works again... so something may have
changed on the backend, but I'm not 100% sure on what I should isolate
as the root cause, yet.

Thanks,
-Garrett
