Kevin, could you give git-bisect a shot? if you have two kernel versions or -rcX tags that work and don't work, then you can use bisect to help find the patch that causes it. you can search for from:torvalds and git-bisect to see lots of instructions from Linus on how to do it. If you have a fast machine and a few hours and an automatable test it can go really fast, probably less than 12 rebuilds.
