It's hard to tell for sure, of course (memory corruption can do pretty
much anything), but I'm not seeing the 07200720.. pattern at least.
And some of them do seem to be bisected to likely culprits and/or have
patches that are claimed to have fixed them.

That has a "reverting the commit fixes it", and a confirmation from Nick
Bowler.
Eric, Carl: should I just revert that commit? Or do you have a fix?

Hmm. This does seem to be a properly bisected commit, but at the same time
it looks from the bugzilla like it's just pure luck on that machine that
the acpi_pad driver happened to mark TSC unstable - so while the commit
bisected is the real one, it's not the "deeper reason" for the problem.
Venki, any updates?

This seems to have been introduced by
commit 7cbaef9c83e58bbd4bdd534b09052b6c5ec457d5
Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu>
Date: Sat Nov 8 17:05:38 2008 +0100
sched: optimize sched_clock() a bit
sched_clock() uses cycles_2_ns() needlessly - which is an irq-disabling
variant of __cycles_2_ns().
Most of the time sched_clock() is called with irqs disabled already.
The few places that call it with irqs enabled need to be updated.
Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu>
and this seems to be one of those calling cases that need to be updated.
Ingo? The call trace is:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: jbd2/sda2-8/337

This one seems to have a patch in bugzilla.

This one also has a patch in Bugzilla, I think Airlie is just waiting to
calm down his queue and already removed the dependency on the temperature
code. DaveA?

These two look related. Both are related to that "slot" thing in sysfs
PCI, but only one of them is marked as Jesse's. Jesse?

Perhaps related to commit 13c24497086418010bf4f76378bcae241d7f59cd?
