It needed the combination 4 failures along the line: the debug check was 
not complete, the ordering was bad and thus the splitup was bad as well 
- and then one component went missing in linux-next and the combined 
effect created this bug that needed a bisection by Andrew and Vegard to 
figure out.

the moral: we now tightened the debug check, fixed the integration bug 
and tightened the checks we have for patch propagation. (Thomas just 
added the new tip-check-integration script to tip/tip that implements 
this)
