A quick update on this bug.

Jakub, the original reporter, was able to determine, by testing mainline
kernels, that the code causing this regression was introduced at some
point between 2.6.38-rc1 (works fine) and 2.6.38-rc2 (crashes on
reboot).

He is now testing kernels produced through git bisect, in order to
isolate the problematic commit. We'll proceed from there once the
troublesome code has been located. I guess at that point we could make a
test kernel available for others affected by this problem, depending on
how hardware-specific it turns out to be (i.e. if it's traced to a
particular component and you don't have that exact same component, the
test kernel will probably still not work).

Thanks!
