Ah. Sorry for the confusion on that bit.
247055aa21ffef1c49dd64710d5e94c2aee19b58 is the change in question.

I was testing in an android environment, and needed the android patches
to boot. Since I at first assumed it was some mis-merge caused by me of
the linaro-2.6.37 tree into the android tree, I re-based the entire
linaro-2.6.37 branch (yes, all 1000+ patches) on top of the android tree
so I could bisect down the cause of the breakage (starting at a known
good point with the android tree). The rebase changed the hash.

Only once I found it the problem and noticed it didn't seem to be
connected to the android changes, did I end up testing with a linaro
disk image, which also showed the problem.

Hmm. So you are not seeing the same issue? Even on a beagleboard xm? 
Its getting late here, so I'll reconfirm I see the problem with a base
linaro image and kernel tomorrow and send you my config.

thanks
