Booting with 3.12.2, your patch series, with acpi_osi=Darwin and no
thunderbolt devices plugged, I run into this oops:

dsl3510 0000:07:00.0: dma_pool_free dls3510 cfg,
0000000080000000/ee2429b8 (bad data)

(gdb) list *(tb_ctl_free_packet+0x21)
0xffffffff815bb221 is in tb_ctl_free_packet (drivers/thunderbolt/tb_cfg.c:243).
238
239    static void tb_ctl_free_packet(struct tb_cfg *cfg, struct
ring_packet *pkg)
240    {
241        dma_pool_free(cfg->packet_pool, pkg->buffer, pkg->buffer_phy);
242        kfree(pkg);
243    }
244
245    /**
246     * tb_ctl_alloc_packets() - allocate multiple packets safely
247     *

Later, I'll add debug to see which path is being taken in
thunderbolt_alloc_and_start, as I guess that wasn't expected to fail,
though it looks like there's this teardown issue.

Thanks,
  Daniel
